Description from the seller

Kodak Retina Reflex IV. A beautiful camera with 5 original lenses. 35mm small-format single-lens reflex camera. Made by Kodak AG Stuttgart, West Germany (Nagel). The finest camera ever produced by Kodak and also the last. Later came the other formats: Instamatic 126, Pocket, 110. The decline of analog and the rise of digital did the rest. This Retina, what a jewel. Everything works. The Gossen light meter needle sticks out. Shutter speeds sound right to the ear, not tested with film. The aperture closes to the set values. The depth-of-field indicator needle responds well. And then: 5 phenomenal lenses: Retina-Curtagon 4/28 + Retina-Curtagon 2.8/35 + Retina-Xenon 1.9/50 + Retina-Tele-Arton 4/85 + Retina-Tele-Xenar 4/135. Try to get them all together in this exceptionally beautiful condition. Of course this set is 65 years old and age-related aging is hardly noticeable. In the viewfinder there is a blemish; two vertical flaky lines are visible as damage. These are not visible on film and do not prevent proper operation.
