Exakta 100

The Exakta 100 was a 35mm single-lens reflex (SLR) camera produced by Exakta as a continuation of their budget-conscious line between 1964 and 1977. Designed during a challenging period for Exakta as Japanese manufacturers dominated the SLR market, it offered a basic, no-frills entry into SLR photography. Characterized by its straightforward controls and likely featuring a simpler shutter and finder system than Exakta's earlier, more complex models, the 100 aimed at the aspiring photographer seeking an affordable interchangeable lens system without advanced features, embodying the brand's efforts to maintain relevance in a rapidly evolving industry.
