For Sale nice set: Exakta Varex IIb camera (1963-1967) with lenses and extras

[TheToadMen]

Hi all,
I'm finally (after two years) finding (and making) the time to finish my darkroom-office space. It has been two years with too much of work and some serious health issues. But finally I'm getting to it and hope to use my "new" Devere enlargers (4x5" and 8x10") at last.
I hope I can get these guys working again (rescued from an artist and the university).

But finishing my darkroom and alt-photo workspace means I have to reduce the amount of boxes with "good projects to be started yet" - I've got too many projects. So I'm letting go of several good items to focus myself more on just a few projects (like lith printing and alt-photo).

And here is the second listing: Exakta Varex IIb camera with lenses and extras.
The camera is as new, the shutter and film transport are working properly.

Included in this sale:
- camera body: Exakta Varex IIb (No. 1027857, body cap)
- original metal take-up reel
- original prism finder (in original leather case with imprint Exalta)
- original shaft finder
- extra focus screen (Ihagee Dresden, in original box, clear with cross)
- 50 mm lens: Tessar 2.8/50 Carl Zeiss Jena DDR 9808225
- 35 mm lens: Flektogon 2,8/35 Carl Zeiss Jena 7194026
- 90 mm lens: Travenar 1:2,8/90 R A.Schacht Ulm 295211
- 2x original metal filters 49 R 1.5
- Fodor 2x Tele Convertor Automatic (in original case, Japan)
- original metal set macro rings (Ihagee Dresden, 5 pieces)
- original cable release (with double cables)
- originele adapter: D-ring (Doppelbajonettring) serie 1970 for Varex and Exa.

The camera and the 35 + 50 mm lenses are in new condition, looking very nice. the 90 mm lens is in used condition with marks on the barrel, but the glass is clean.

BTW: I believe the "D-ring (Doppelbajonettring) serie 1970 for Varex and Exa" is a kind of Macro ring (5 mm).
(never used it myself)

Wonderful collection, I doubt if for 35mm would need more. Really amazing artisan kind of thing.

My 1A still works flawlessly, tested over decades or so.

I wish. Not that I need another 35mm kit, but this is nice!

 

[TheToadMen]

Still available.

Price lowered for this set: Euro 250 OBO + shipping costs. I'll even trow in a two nice film rolls (BW and colour) to get you started.

It'a a beautiful set. The 35mm and 50mm lenses are gorgeous and yield very sharp images. I'm not familiar with the other lenses but I'm sure they are the same

Great camera and lenses et al but I now do my serious work [sirius work?] in 6x6.
