As you start working with your new EXA IIa, we
would like to congratulate you on your choice
and wish you lasting enjoyment and successful
results with your new camera.
You have invested in a photographic instrument
of amazing versatility in the EXA IIa, which,

lax-free image you can select your subject, focus
the image and check the depth-of-field range
with equal accuracy, no matter whether you are
taking close-up pictures with extension tubes, or
long-distances hots with special telephoto lens-
