Greetings Acer, Yes the Exa is different from the
XA. The Exa was Exakta's cheap SLR, first introduced
in 1952. Check out these features; interchangeable
finder, interchangeable exakta mount lenses, a drum
type shutter with speeds of 1/25,1/50,1/100,and
1/150th plus B. Quite an interesting little tank.
If I knew how to work this doggone machine I'd send
you a web site that has a photo and history on the
Exa. Guess I'll have to wait till one of the kids get
up. best regards, John
