One pricey Exa.

Would you believe the price this Exa brought?

Sharp eyed readers will note that this is an extremely rare variation from the earliest production run - but still a big price tag for such a simple camera.

Exas must be a hot commodity these days! This 500 is only going for a million dollars:

That version is a rare camera. Exakta and or Exa collecting has not taken off like Leica collectors, but there are a few dedicated collectors out there.

Ah, but that's in Canadian money. I noticed he prices everything at 1 million, and then entertains offers. Not really a good marketing ploy, as it would tend to turn some folks off.

I've noticed on one action site I visit (no, not eBay) that Exacta/Exa stuff is very popular, going beyond my budgetary means.

Exa is very collectible in some circles,

I know of two local gents who just eat the stuff up, spitting back out a mjaority of it as rubbish.

Never ran into anything close personally, Ide prolly pass on the smelly old buckets anyhow.

That old saying comes to mind,

"It is only worth what somone is willing to pay.." or the like.

There's nothing like a fungus filled Domiplan or Meritar to get the old GAS flowing.

I have a fungus filled Meritar if anybody is interested. :angel: Results aren't actually that bad:
