    Hello!
    Thank you very much for the beautiful journey through Dresden's camera history and many greetings from Dresden to the world!
    Dresden was once the capital of camera production worldwide.
    Best regards!

    Josef Koudelka shot his series of Roma people, and famously the Russian invasion of Prague on an Exakta with 25mm Flektogon f4 lens. He used German movie film, and had to keep returning to his bulk loader as the invasion progressed. He sometimes pushed the 400 ASA film 3 stops to 3200 ASA, using hot developer. The images were smuggled out to the Magnum agency using a false name. Looking at the size of the Exakta, it is no surprise Koudelka subsequently moved to a Leica.

    I was fortunate to find an entire mint 1956 Exakta Varex system at a camera store in Canada. An elderly German gentleman had brought it in. German & French lenses. Excited to see a video that includes this beautiful historic camera.

    Nice showing from the German “camera pioneers”!
    But don’t forget East Germanys Praktina line of professional cameras from the mid - later 1950’s…. The first full line “SLR camera system”….. wonderful fine kameras!!
    Thanks

    Development of the 35 mm SLR
    Russian: Спорт (Sport)
    The first 35mm prototype SLR was the "Filmanka" developed in 1931 by A. Min in the Soviet Union.[4] In 1933 A.O. Gelgar developed the "GelVeta" also in the USSR, later renamed Спорт ("Sport").[5] "Sport" was a very smart design with a 24mm × 36mm frame size, but, according to some sources, it did not enter the market until 1937,[6] although there is now some evidence emerging that "Sport" may have been in limited production before 1936. Therefore, it is claimed not to be the first mass-produced 35mm SLR.

    Ive got the Exakta camera too. But mine only has one flash socket on the right side, not the two that you have. Mine looks as new as yours does, but the shutter curtain sticks. 2 shops near me wouldn't work on it, but did comment on the condition. My relatives brought it over from Germany when they came to Ellis island. My wife almost put it in the garage sale, but me being the photographer stopped it.

    I have a Contax 2a. It has an internal and a external mount for different lenses.
    It also has a top shutter speed if one 1200th.
    The exacta has a cute little rotating cover for the shutter release button to prevent inadvertent double exposores.

    The Praktina line was introduced 7 years before the Nikon F line of system SLR’s
