Kine Exacta 1955 version.

[Taslim Abdani]

A couple of months ago, on a whim I purchased a Kine Exacta with a Zeiss lens. It is a lovely camera to look at, but I don't want to just look at it, I would like to use it. The problem is that I tried to load film but couldn't. I'm not sure if there is a part missing or not. Does anyone know of a site where I could get a manual for this camera? :confused:

Is this helping:

If not - take a picture of cameras opened back - to see how it looks where film goes.

The Exakta range had loose take-up spools and these can get lost. They also usually load the film on the right with the take-up spool on the left.

If you process your own you can use two cassettes

Just checked any standard cassette spool (to the ISO) will work ok ie clip on resonably but would will need a hacksaw cut to hold the film in place (45 degrees to axis). I tried a Kodak.

The pukka spools are nice though.
