Exakta coffee table study
An Exakta Varex with a top view finder looking at a coffee table scene.
It came with a Field Guide which is a brilliant read! Cameras don't come with this kind of warning these days:
"The Exakta is not a box camera. It is not foolproof in the sense that those cheap cameras are. Frankly, it is a complicated camera and sensitive to a degree. It is of utmost importance that it should be handled strictly in accordance with the instructions. One should train oneself to avoid accidental and false movements which could damage the camera mechanism".
