"Two concurrent Exa lines
Over a number of years there were two Exa camera lines, being manufactured concurrently:
The original Exa (often referred to as Exa 0), continued as Exa I: this line was undergoing a normal evolution, being manufactured between 1952 and 1970. Their viewfinders were interchangeable with Exakta. The mirror was used as a part of the shutter, and speeds were limited to 1/150s.
Exa II/Exa 500: a new body with non-interchangeable prism finder and a regular, vertical focal-plane shutter. These cameras were made from 1959 ...."

This Exa II shutter has the slow speeds as well as going  OVER 1/150 !
