Accessories
- Hood extension (for the Kine Exakta)
Marked in gold: "Genuine Leather - Made in West Germany". Unusual. I found it at Classic Collection. I saw it for the first time during 1994 but I did not buy it, in 1996 I had it from Dave Woodford
- Hood extension (for VP cameras)
You can find it at page 39, Aguila and Rouah (I have not the jpg at home)
- 250 exposures back
for the Kine Exakta. Another piece of accessory that might be of interest is a
250 exposures back for the Kine, II and V. There is no marking but
it looks Ihagee. (Jim Hayes Collection)

- VP B Chrome with Jr lens
This brings me to mind another odd Exakta bought at a camera
show last month. It is a chrome B with a chrome Exakta junior lens
mount with serial number 590772. According to IHG in 1988
590751 was the latest serial number known for a Junior. The lens is
an Ihagge Anastigmat M f 3,5 7,3cm... (Jim Hayes)
- Night Version 1
With Biotar 2/8cm
- Night Version 2
Fitted with Vacublitz sockets. Primoplan 1,9/8cm. Sync on the right added.
- No serial number Night Chrome
A photo copy of your unique VP B was sent to me by a mutual
friend, Gary Cullen. I find it very interesting and wondered if what
other odd and unusual Ihagee cameras were out there. I have
requested that the Exakta Circle survey the Members to see what
they have, send photos and even write articles on them. I have
sought information on one of my Night Exaktas, a chrome one with
no serial number and 400th second on the fast speed dial and 1/5th
second on the slow speed knob instead of 1/10th second. Which
speed does your's have? (Reply: 400th and 1/10th)
Your camera differs from mine in that mine has a focusing scale in
feet, is a Night Exakta with no serial number, and has a Biotar lens.
It may be that we have the same kind of cameras and Ihagee used
what parts that were available to assemble as many cameras as
possible at the end of the VP production. Remove the lens mount to
see if there are two scews in the focusing mechanism as in the
sketch. Your camera has an unusual lens arangement that look like
my chrome Schneider except for the added extension ring. I've
never tried it but I wonder if a VP would focus properly if a night
lens was installed with no other adjustments, and I also wonder if
that added extension is to bring the lens forward enough to focus to
infinity. If the extension ring is really removable (Reply: No) you
might try focusing with a VP C back. It might have been the making
of a new C. Who knows just what was on Ihagee's mind ? (Jim Hayes)
