Exakta Varex iia
Exakta was the first 35mm Single Lens Reflex (SLR) ever! And to make it more beautiful: the father of the Exakta was Dutch!
Johan Steenbergen ( * Holland, Meppel 1886 + Germany, Osnabrück 1967) moved to Dresden, Germany in 1908 and founded IHaGee Kamerawerk. This factory became world famous by introducing the Exakta.
WW II made an end to the success story of Steenbergen. He lost control over the factory to the Nazi's. In 1942 he was able to leave for San Francisco to work for the Dutch Consul. In 1945 the factory in Dresden was destroyed by bombs. Steenbergen wanted to rebuild his business but the Deutsche Demokratische Republik made it a state company.

More information on the Exakta Varex IIa and other (old) analog cameras can be found in the film-section of my website.

For the moment this site contains photo galleries, videos and tutorials. I want to incorporate film photography too, but until that has been done you can find it here.You'll find everything in the menu-bar at the top of the page.
