conrad_hoffman Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I always like to point out, since it's rarely listed anywhere, the Retina IIIc Xenon lens does use radioactive elements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralf_j. Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 My favorite is the IIa. Love that Xenon lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent T Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 These may have been the last great American film cameras. American only if you count Stuttgart, Germany. Built at the German Kodak/Nagel Camera Werke. I love my 1b. Scale focus and all. Shot a lot of landscapes and street images on my example, bought it over 28 years ago used for $60. Never gave me any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent T Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 [ATTACH=full]1347800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1347802[/ATTACH] Above is the packaging for the lenses. Below is the lens screwed into the threads of the camera lens. I do not believe that my original camera lens is removable on this model. If this clear anything up, that would be great! That is a Retina 1b. Never sold new in the USA, as Kodak Stuttgart never officially exported them to the USA. I love mine. No rangefinder, scale focus only. 2.8 Schneider-Kruesnach Xenar lens.
