Introduction to the Exa 1b Camera

Are you interested in vintage cameras? The exa 1b was produced in East Germany between 1977 and 1985. There are lots of these floating around on eBay and in flea markets around Europe.
It just makes me happy by Dj Quads on Soundcloud

Great video! I love that it has an M42 mount as well and not the usual Exacta mount.

I was a member of photography club at Menengai High school in Nakuru in 1974-1975. I like this.

So totally unrelated to the topic but I love your accent, mate ^^ And yeah I don't understand much of older cameras since they started to slowly fade out in favor of digital Cameras when I was a kid so your Video is quite helpful. I picked mine up on a flea market and I do have a Viewfinder installed where you look in from the top and it pops open with a button push

Hello, can I ask you where I can change the iso? I can’t find it in this camera

Is it easy to clean the mirror?
Or is there a cover to protect from dust?

Fun camera. Alas 175 is too slow for more than 50mm. The 135 is a risky blur business lol.
