I bought a lot locally just 10 minutes ago.
Elbaflex VX 1000 aus Dresden body
- Isco-Göttingen Iscotar 1:2,8/50
- Isco-Göttingen Westron 1:3,5/35
- Isco-Göttingen Isconar 1:4/135
- Examat tükörakna ill. prizma Examat Harvix Berlin
Looks a rare, exciting set at least uncommon here.
Any experience ?

According to Captain Jack, the Elbaflex badged VX1000 generally sells at a 100-200% premium over the usual Exakta VX1000 and was only sold in Europe:

Can't speak for the lenses but the Examat is a meter prism that offers non-coupled TTL metering.
I've got one of them. |

This is an Exakta VX 1000 with a different trademark.
Maybe to bypass trademark problems in W. Germany ?
It should be an OK camera if you like Exaktas.
Captain Jack says it should sell at a premium over the ordinary VX 1000
I have had a couple of VX 1000's - problem with them is they have the rubber coated shutter curtain that gets dry and cracks.
Earlier Exaktas usually have the ordinary fabric curtain that lasts longer. Many however have had the old fabric curtain replaced with the rubberized type.

Thats an interesting accessory. Third-party meter prism, less common than the Schacht and Exakta versions.
