VP A Version 1 - 337k
This was the first Exakta!
This version is very rare with its 22mm
in diameter milled knob for film transport and
shutter tensioning. The lens thread
diameter is 39,5 mm with
0,5mm pitch. This camera is in very fine
condition, except the left curtain (as
often happens, wrinkled). The camera works
but the curtains must be registered. No
sun and moon over logo Ihagee.

Fine leather case.

This is the second
version of the VP A, made in 1933.
The pitch is 0,75mm
while the knob diameter increases to
26mm. The lens is cloudy
and the black paint shows corrosion near
the speed dial. The camera is in good
condition except the curtains who are
dry and pinholed. The synch plug on the left
side was added.Body number

VP A Version 5bis 630k
I added this camera to
my collection for the film
pressure plate (probably to use the Bantam 628
film). It looks professionally made like
the rear window which was
added up/down. The camera is in fine
condition, but it doesn’t work (curtains, as
usually).Body number 543975
