Ihagee Exa IIa

In 1963 the Exa and Exa II were given a facelift, and were renamed the Exa I and Exa IIa. The camera was functionally like the Exa II, fixed finder and focal plane shutter. It had a more curved appearance, along the lines of the recently restyled Exaktas. The back is removed for loading film, instead of hinging open.
