Rare Exakta Ihagee Dresden Meter Prism with Original Case Made in Germany Unused

Description

IHAGEE EXAKTA SELENIUM CELL VIEWFINDER - UNUSED CONDITION. This sale is for an Ihagee Exakta selenium cell metering prism that extended non-TTL (non-Through the Lens) reflected light metering capability to Exakta's interchangeable viewfinder 35mm Varex, VX, and VXIIa model cameras. In addition to providing manual metering (a reading was taken from the meter and lens and aperture were adjusted appropriately by the photographer), the finder provided both through-the-lens and direct-sight viewing capabilities. The meter functioned in two operating ranges. To compensate for varying light intensities, it was equipped with a slotted "trap door" mechanism that could be opened (dim light) or shut (bright light). Most selenium cells manufactured in the 1950's (the date of this item) long ago stopped functioning. the needle at this unit does not move, I think the sells stop working from age, sold as is. the unit comes with original leather hard case made in Germany.
Do not miss this opportunity to own a piece of  IHAGEE history as an item like this may never come up for sale again.
