Kodak Retina IIc (020)
This coupled rangefinder camera has the Schneider Xenon C lens fitted, though examples for the European marketplace were available with Rodenstock Heligon C lenses. A point to note with these cameras, the lens serial number is engraved on the lens mount as well as on the lens, they should both match. The front element of the lens is interchangeable with 35mm or 80mm components, these needing the use of the auxiliary viewfinder which fits in the accessory shoe. Unfortunately the rangefinder only couples accurately with the 50mm lens, requiring a degree of cross-referencing of distance scales when the auxiliary lenses are used. The auxiliary lenses for this model are discussed in detail on the Retina IIIC page.| name | : Kodak Retina IIc (020) | | produced between | : 1954 - 1957 | | lens | : f/2.8 50mm various | | shutter | : Synchro-Compur | | film type | : 135 | | picture size | : 24 x 36 mm | | quantity made | : 136,000 | | categories | : 35 mm, retina |
