AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this listing, a prestigious and fascinating 35mm single-lens reflex camera with a central shutter: the Kodak Retina Reflex, produced in West Germany by Kodak AG at the Stuttgart plant between 1957 and 1958.
Optics: The camera houses the excellent and bright original Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenon C 50mm f/2 lens. The lenses appear clean, sharp, and free of fogging, surface scratches, or fungus. The markings on the front barrel are perfectly legible, and the focus ring operates smoothly.
Mechanics: The mechanical Synchro-Compur central shutter fires at the various speeds, and the lever at the bottom for rapid cocking and film advancement functions normally. The manual focus ring glides smoothly, and the internal reflex mirror mechanism responds to the shutter commands. The selenium light meter is present on the upper front of the body.
Aesthetics: Excellent overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The metal body shows bright, well-preserved chrome, free of structural dents or dings, with slight and normal signs of use. The black imitation leather covering is intact with no missing parts. The brown hard leather Pronto case bears the original “Retina” logo, showing a beautiful antique patina and minimal signs of wear, as does the included small accessory case in coordinating brown leather.
Included accessories: Original brown leather Pronto case shaped to fit with shoulder strap and the small coordinating brown leather accessory case.
