Edition 001
February 2011
Price ÂŁ0.00
This month’s edition is dedicated to the Kodak Retinette IB. Basic Information on camera: The Kodak Type 037 Retinette IB was a product of the German Kodak AG, one of a series of Retinette’s. It was a 35mm viewfinder camera with built-in coupled selenium meter made by Gossen. The bright line viewfinder had a needle-centring display for the meter. The lens was a Rodenstock Reomar 45mm/f2.8 in a Prontor LK shutter, with speeds from 1/15-1/500 +B. The film was advanced by a lever, unusually mounted underneath the camera. The IB was produced from October 1959 to February 1963.
My opinion of the camera: A basically beautiful camera, whether you are just looking at it or actually using it, this camera just feel right in your hands.
Photographs are all taken using Kodak Colour Film 200
