Sorry--I got interrupted putting the information on the page. I inherited this equipment and did not know it's value--to me or anyone else. I have no particular affinity to it, so, if anyone knows how to determine its value and/or knows anyone that might be interested in it--please let me know.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Looks like it's in nice shape. I was a very nice camera in it's day . Most have dry rotted shutter curtains . The value of film cameras has gone down unfortunately. You may get a decent price for the lenses

Looks like the camera that Jimmy Stewart's character used in "Rear Window". It was the only camera ever made for left handed people. You have a real gem there. If you decide to sell it, don't let anyone try to cheat you.

One of the first SLR cameras. Highly regarded. Should bring a good price from a collector. Search using "Exacta" and ye should find a prospect.

I have a pre-war Exa. I believe it's the cheaper version of the Exacta--still takes good photos.

Check KEH to see what they are wanting for this. They do buy some, you might inquire.

Looks to be in decent shape. What lenses are included? Have a VXIIA from the 50's with all the accessories. Still use it once in a while. My favorite camera of the more than 40 cameras I have owned. It has some details that some of today's digital cameras could use. I've had at least 60 yrs of shooting pictures with it and have loved every minute of it. With what other camera could you put on a tripod, in a dark cathedral, set the self-timer to a 12 second delay and an 4 second time exposure, and then trip the shutter and keep others away fro the camera while it was taking the picture, on slow Kodachrome film. An absolutely wonderful camera. Also it had the waist level and penta-prism interchangeable viewfinders. Sadly the prices of used Exacta's has gone down. They usually come on the market when an owner passes away, because they usually keep them for a lifetime! Check the specs and give a list of what's for sale. Hard to tell from just the photos. I'd just keep it, get some film, and see all the good stuff you can do. Forgot to mention, it has a built in knife to only take a few exposures when you are shooting film, cassette to cassette.
