Exakta Varex IIa German Ihagee SLR camera Ihagee CLA works Zeiss Pancolar Prism
If you wonder why I have same shipping to European union like for rest of world it is thetherefore because  for these sales needs to be paid VAT  to government. There is no option in ebay software how to set it I am using part of shipping charge (and still loosing on sales to EU). If you are from EU and you will purchase 2 or more items I will arrange for you special shipping  charge that  can be lower like for heaviest item itself! If you are from Europe but not from European union or you have valid EU VAT No., do not pay and ask me for shipping charge mentioned bellow in description.
To many EU countries now I can arrange courier shipping in range €8-23. If you will bid in this auction, ask in advance, or at least prior making a payment I will tell you exactly how much charge will be to your destination.
To USA I am offerińg now Fedex economy shipping. Experiences so far shows that delivery takes 6-7 days and I will shorten handling time to 3 days max. I still need some time to test, remove eventuell problems that by old cameras during storing can happen and pack it. If possible I will send them at the beginning.
Exakta cameras were together with Exa the first successful SLR system in camera history. The producer was Ihagee Dresden from East Germany.
Exaktas were very expensive here.
I think it is nice collectible item now. I believe that the quality of work was by Exacta cameras the highest from all cameras made in former soviet block. Look at that beautiful chrome part, very unusual selftimer - I never saw nothing similar.
Selftimer not only allows the variable time of it own work, but long exposure times starting from 1/5 up to 12 seconds!!!
Exakta Varex IIa was manufactured in years 1957-62. It has here usually higher prices than other Exakta Varex types except the original Exakta Varex.
This camera is version 5 after Aguila and Rouah made in 1960. It already has many cosmetical features of IIb.

Camera was recently overhauled therefore works properly, shutter speeds look appropriate. Glass on lens is clean, no fungus. Few light cleaning scratches on front coating are visible from rear end only. They will not affect pictures for sure. Good glass for lens type.(micro bubbles are in every Zeiss lens of this age), without any haze. Focusing and stopping is smooth. Shutter curtains were restored therefore are light tight. Service like has got this camera costs in USA over 0.
We are repairing, overhauling, cleaning and lubricating every camera, lens, binocular, microscope ... to restore its original funktionaliy as much as possible. However we are not dissasembling it completely and clean every part in ultrasonic cleaner separately if not necessary. If I am not satisfied how something works - considering item age and construction - I will write about it in description. You do not need ask me if it works, we did everything possible to repair it, and I believe for some groups is our repair workshop between the most qualifying in world. Get it working better can only better repairman (or with better replacement part source). However I am not manufacturing them, therefore always read carefully my descripion about glass, etc.
Btw, if you need repair some older mechanical camera, lens, accessory, binocular or microsope you can always ask me.
Air mail shipping and handling charge is
WORLDWIDE

- INSURED; to
European countries those are not in European union

REGISTERED (letter), it has automatic insurance coverage up to
€50
(Euro) per packet, contact me, if higher insurance is required than use worldwide option. They do exist express options (courier) to most EU countries, cost are different (low) you need ask about them separately.
If post will confirm that insured packet was lost or damaged (you need claim by delivery) I will replace it - when impossible refund the full amount. I need wait for post confirmation, too many crooks lately trying to have both item and money.
It is included in it incombinable packing and handling charge that remains by combined shipping. Rest of charge I will combine and calculate just true shipping charge for packet to your country if you will purchase more items.
I have declared up to 10 days handling time for my items. I need this time to control and last time test every item, for items shipped out of European union put it in custom office that needs 2-3 days prepare documents and transfer packet to post office. Expected postal delivery time is usually up to 2 weeks but delays simple happens, for example in USA packet often need more days for security control in custom office. For these reasons I choosed to check ebay shipping option "economy shipping ... 11-20 business days", I hope that you will get as quick as possible (in most cases you can calculate get packet 1.5-2 weeks after payment date if you are in European union, 2-3 weeks for rest of world) but really I can not affect work of custom and post offices worldwide anyway and delays can happen. Online trackable it is in some countries, for example USA, China, Japan.
Contact me before making any Ebay or Paypal claim, PLEASE!
Combined shipping saves often costs per item considerably but not in all situations, ask about exact items. By very cheap item is possible ship uninsured - this will cost less, but I will do it only if you will declare that you will not make any claim if packet will be lost by transport.
Look at my other auctions for more camera items!
Greetings from Slovakia and happy bidding!
Sorry, usually I can't reply questions during Friday-Sunday. If is some difference between description and picture usually is mistake in description, by cameras, lenses, prisms, etc, picture always show actual item (some small items like extension tubes, flash shoes, etc can be exception). I will correct all links until Tuesday.
