Description

Welcome!
For your consideration:
A Somewhat rare 1948 Ihagee Kine Exacta (rarer "C" spelling) 35mm SLR camera, serial #631580 with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar f3.5/50mm lens. Waist-level viewfinder with flip-down magnifier for precise focusing. Shutter speeds to 1/1000th of a second down to a long 12 second timed exposure. Internal film cutting knife for removing a partially exposed roll of film. This is one of a line of camera models that revolutionized 35mm single lens reflex photography.
Condition details:
Body shows much less than average signs of wear and age. Micro scratches and slight edge wear on body. Leather skin in excellent shape. Film chamber is clean  Eye-level finder is clean and clear. Shutter winds and fires fine with speeds sounding accurate to my ear. Shutter curtains are smooth and light-tight. Reflex mirror has been replaced with better than original silvered glass. Film frame counter works well. Includes original case in good used condition and take-up spool.
LENS:
Zeiss Tessar f3.5/50mm lens serial #3022182. Barrel without dents or dings. Aluminum barrel showing only light surface scratches. Focus is smooth but snug. Aperture adjusts as designed. Aperture blades are clean and dry. Lens glass is without fungus, haze or scratches.
