Not my usual style. Very straight ahead
... but, I somehow like this one. Maybe
I just like Exaktas.

My first SLR from way back in the last century. From an Argus C-3 to an Exacta was such a big step. Thanks for the memories.

Very nice. My first SLR was a slightly later version that I bought (well used) for 5 Pounds including 50 mm and 300mm lenses while I was in College. I took some great pictures with it but I found the waist finder with its reverse image a real pain. It had a slide out knife to cut the film inside the camera if you wanted to just take a couple of shots and develop them.
Nice one, this guy looks pleased.
Looked at a mid 60's Exacta when I was in Germany and liked its style and quirkiness.
Bought a Pentax Spotmatic instead for price and features. Last summer, wife called me from an auction sale about an Exakta on the cheap, alas a RTL 1000, capable but not really the Exakta we remember.
