  • 1x film spool (take-up spool) for Exakta Varex series (color code: blue)

Technical specifications

  • Material: PLA+ (technical plastic)
  • Color: blue (for model identification)
  • Fit: specifically designed for Exakta Varex cameras

Description

The Exakta Varex is a legend in camera technology, but often when buying a used body, one small but crucial part is missing: the film spool. Without it, the shutter stays silent and the film remains unexposed. We know this problem from our own experience and have therefore developed a precise replacement solution.

Our film spool is exactly matched to the Varex series. To avoid confusion with the similar-looking but technically different spools of the Exa series (color code green), we produce this spool directly in “code blue.” This makes identification in your camera bag child’s play. Made from sturdy PLA+, this spool is not just a replacement but a real upgrade for your camera’s reliability. It grips the film securely and ensures smooth transport so you can fully focus on your subject.


Compatibility

This film spool is compatible with the following models of the Exakta series:

  • Exakta Varex VX 1000
  • Exakta Varex VX 500
  • Exakta Varex IIa
  • Exakta Varex IIb
  • Exakta VX (US version)

Note: For Exa models (Exa I, II, Ia, Ib, etc.) you need the version with the color code green.
