Hello Everyone. I mostly lurk here and don't have much of a post history, but I thought it might be a good place to offer this outfit.

Asking price for the full kit: (Parts sold, see individual item prices below.) + Shipping

Shipping will be from PA. Payment will be via PayPal (Goods & Services).
  • Exakta 66 (Model I) Body SOLD
  • Schneider Kreuznach Xenotar MF 2.8/80mm lens: $550
  • Zeiss Jena Flektogon 4/50mm lens (very late model) SOLD
  • Exakta 66 Waist Level Finder SOLD
  • Exakta 66 Prism Finder (with bottom cap): SOLD
  • Exakta 66 branded extension tube: $100
I've attached examples of photos taken with this camera (with the Xenotar).

Detailed descriptions of each item:

The Xenotar is in excellent optical condition with no scratches, marks, or fungus. It focuses smoothly, the aperture blades are clean and free of oil. The only defect that I can see with this lens is a very tiny amount of cosmetic wear on the outside of the filter ring. (You can see it most easily in the image to the right of the word "multicoating".) This wear does not impact the filter threads at all.

SOLD Item descriptions:

The Exakta 66 camera body is in good overall condition with one exception: the inside of the film door has a fair amount of scratching to the black paint that exposes the copper color underneath (please see the photo of the inside of the film door). This damage is purely cosmetic and has had absolutely no impact on any photo I have taken with this camera. I have no idea how it happened, since it was there when I purchased the camera. The shutter curtain is excellent with no pinholes or other problems. All functions on the body operate as they should without any issues.

The Flektogon is in good optical condition. There are no scratches, marks or fungus. However, there is a very small amount of wear to the coating on the lens. This can be seen on the very edge of the glass near the "14949" and the word "Flektogon". As far as I can tell, it has no impact on image quality and is barely noticeable unless the lens is held at the right angle under strong lighting. It focuses smoothly, the aperture blades are clean and free of oil.

The Waist Level Finder is clear and bright. The image of the CD rack in this listing was taken through the WLF (the image itself is not in focus, but it should demonstrate how bright the WLF is, even in a dimly lit room). No CDs are included. :wink:

The Prism Finder is in good overall condition. There is a bit of dust/debris caught under the prism itself (or perhaps a manufacturing defect, it's hard to tell). This spot is clearly visible (and darker) when viewing through the eye piece and might be annoying to some people. I've tried to take the best picture of it I can. It is circled in red in one of the photos. There is also a bit of a yellowing that's only visible through the eye piece. It could be that a full CLA would fix both of these issues, but I cannot be certain of that. The light meter built into the Prism Finder has been tested with a battery. It appears to work exactly as it should. The photos that I took when using it turned out well.

That is a beautiful kit! Hardly any signs of wear, I wish I could be in the market for it. Instead I'll wish you luck with the sale.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

FYI to anyone interested: I've decided to break up the pieces of this kit on eBay (I've got an event I'm trying to raise money for and am on a bit of a clock). If a piece sells, I'll price things individually here as well. Would still love to sell it all at once though. :smile:

EDIT: Well, some of it sold. I'll edit the OP to reflect that.

Prism finder sold. Feel free to make offers on the lens. :smile:
 
Title updated to reflect that the lens is the main thing still available (the extension tube is still available too).

Price dropped on the Xenotar.
 
Probably the final price drop on the Xenotar.
