Version 6, #563882 During the 25th year of production of the 35mm Exaktas, Ihagee introduced the black and with labels as for IIa as for the Exa.  When I was speaking about Ihagee's Jubilee I have already said how little Ihagee has made to celebrate it. So it is unuseful to continue to talk about the choose of altering the nameplate and let's go to see what is new on this camera. Useless to continue to speak about the logo even if we have not said that two years before the same inscription, tilted toward the right, appeared, even if engraved, on the Exa II's frontplate. The waist level finder has been simplified and has been covered by the usual black leatherette. The body numbers of my cameras go from 580.055 to 619.153 inside the A&R's range. These cameras show a peculiarity that can be seen with difficulty on older cameras: the body's and the back's bottom have similar chrome. The time has instead worked on the preceding versions: if you support a preceding version on a plain, the back is lifted about 1 mm and the body's chrome suffers an usury that day after day becomes more evident. From this usury have been saved only the last cameras, very probably forgotten somewhere after the Japanese surpass. If we speak about the frontplate the upper round form has been changed and the engraved "Ihagee Dresden" inscription is in thin capital letters. |
