AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An offered Kodak Retinette (type 022) from c1954 - 1958 viewfinder camera in fairly nice and well-working condition.
The Schneider-Kreuznach Reomar f3.5/45mm lens is exceptionally sharp, free of scratches or cleaning marks, with no fungus or haze inside.
The viewfinder is especially bright.
All shutter speeds from B, 1 sec up to 1/500 sec run very smoothly by ear.
The aperture also adjusts very smoothly from f3.5 to f22. Note: to set the aperture to your own choice you must press the silver toothed half-moon wheel and at the same time turn the aperture ring to your chosen setting.
For this camera is a coupled time/aperture camera, but it can also be operated separately.
Opening the film back is very easy by turning the silver wing nut at the bottom 1/8 turn to the right. A small button will then appear to press to open the camera back.
The lens is intact and free of scratches, fungus and haze.
The camera is highly regarded for its very compact body, attractive design, light weight, sharpness and color rendition.
A matching black lens cap without branding and an original Konica strap will be included.
The camera will be very securely packed and shipped with Track & Trace number and insurance.
NOTA:
I always ship my goods with Track & Trace number and insurance to prevent possible damage and theft. This shipping cost is higher (but safer) and is required by Catawiki to be used because of tracking possibilities. I use Catawiki's "Smart Shipping" tool. This has been introduced after negotiations with various carriers and mail-order companies to offer cheaper shipping costs. Everything happens automatically via Catawiki and I only receive a digital shipping label to print and affix to the package.
I use a one-time fee reimbursement of 10€ included in the shipping costs. This covers the time I spend on packing, the packing box, the time I spend driving to and from the post office, and a contribution to fuel because my car does not run on water.
If you cannot agree to this, please do not place bids.
Many thanks in advance.
