A classic East German SLR with fast, character-rich glass.

The Exa II is a compact 35mm SLR made by Ihagee in Dresden, East Germany. Designed as a simplified companion to the Exakta series, it features a straightforward shutter mechanism, waist-level or prism viewfinder (depending on configuration), and a bright focusing screen. The Exa II uses the Exakta bayonet mount, allowing compatibility with a wide range of vintage East German and West German lenses.

This kit includes the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Oreston 50mm f/1.8 (SN: 5338299), a highly regarded fast prime lens known for its beautiful rendering, smooth bokeh, and strong color contrast — ideal for portrait and character-rich photography.
