Its highly unique ergonomics—like the left-side shutter release and the internal film-cutting blade—give it a wonderful retro character that forces you to slow down and consider each composition. Because it handles exposure entirely through mechanical gears, it is a completely transparent, deeply satisfying tool that turns analog photography into a highly engaging, rewarding ritual.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIhagee Exakta VX 1000\u003c\/b\u003e 35mm SLR Film Camera Body \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eIhagee (Exakta)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eExakta VX 1000\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003eCamera Type: 35mm SLR Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 35mm Roll Film (Standard 135 Format)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Exakta Bayonet Mount\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0\"\u003eShutter Speed Range: 1\/1000s to 12 seconds + Bulb (Via Dual Control Dials)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,6,0\"\u003eExposure Control: Fully Manual Mechanics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,7,0\"\u003eFocus Type: Manual Focus Only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,8,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
