can someone please give me history of my old camera EXA 1c?
lens is Pentacon auto 1.8/50 & MC SONNAR 3.5/135 Carl Zeiss Jena DDR
Here's a link to an Exa page. Try the home page of this organization to see if they have information on the lenses.
http://www.exakta.org/org35/orgexa/orgexa.html
Interestingly, they do not show the 1c, but stop at 1b. My dad had an Exa, which he kept in the office for photographing patients' teeth. It was such a cool little camera. My first ever SLR was in fact an Exa 500, if I have remembered correctly. I had the Tessar f/2 lens, though, at Dad's recommendation, as he loved that lens formula. He had a Tessar lens on his Exakta VX-IIa, which was THE camera with which I first learned photography.
You can find much more at the Exakta site, but Exa was introduced as an inexpensive camera to serve as a bridge to the higher level Exakta line. Typically, the high shutter speed was only 1/500 and early models stopped at 1/250 and even less. The body was physically smaller than an Exakta, but it was no lightweight camera and it felts solid in use. When the Japanese camera makers entered the scene with integrated meters and computer designed lenses, Exakta kind of faded through natural selection. Miranda cameras reminded me more of Exakta than any others did.
