Pre-production VX 500
# 0000069
As you can see from the body number,
this is a rare pre-production camera. No
flash symbol, like in the first batch of
Exakta VX 500. This is the only Exakta VX 500
with the Ihagee name engraved. On the
other Exakta VX 500 the inscription
is “aus DRESDEN”. Cosmetically fine,
curtains locked. |

VX 500
VX 500, #1535478, the
name Exakta was discarded, the top plate
is engraved with the inscription “aus
DRESDEN”. It was another step towards
the communist way of managing companies
throwing away the logo Ihagee (symbol of
private ownership). As Aguila and
Rouah say, the nameplates were affixed
at the final stage of assembly. The
camera works.
