The Kodak Retina IIIc is a highly regarded 35mm rangefinder camera known for its excellent build quality and precision engineering. Introduced in the 1950s, this camera features a coupled rangefinder for accurate focusing and a built-in selenium light meter for convenient exposure measurement. The Retina IIIc is equipped with a Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenon 50mm f/2.0 lens, which is renowned for its sharpness and beautiful rendering of images. The fast f/2.0 aperture allows for effective low-light photography and provides a shallow depth of field for creative control over focus. The lens is also collapsible, making the camera more compact and portable when not in use.
With its combination of superb optics, reliable mechanics, and classic design, the Kodak Retina IIIc remains a favorite among film photography enthusiasts and collectors? Overcall condition is very good. Exterior is very good with minimal wear. Lens is clear and free of haze, fungus and scratches. Folding mechanism operates smoothly, as do all control rings on lens.
