I've become slightly obsessed with the 1950s Kodak Retina 35mm folders and have acquired a couple of them now. This is my first rendered photo post from the (slightly beat up) Kodak Retina IIIc. I used Ferrania P30 b&w film, processed my usual way, and scanned it with the Leica CL. https://flic.kr/p/2mobsZE :: The Chair by the Church - Santa Clara 2021 The Kodak Retina IIIc proves a lovely 35mm camera to carry and shoot with: great size, shape, and weight. The folding door covers and protects the lens nicely when I slide it into my camera bag, etc. enjoy!

I had one of those, many moons ago. A great little camera, wonderful mechanics from the days when Made in Germany really meant something. Mine had a Schneider Xenar lens (4 elements, Tessar type) as opposed to the 6 element Xenon in yours which is every bit as good as a Planar from the same era. Here's one of the few shots that have survived: http://www.fotoralf.be/temp/8000413.jpg Ralf -- Ralf R.

Nice shot, dripping with foreboding, as if one has been sent to the headmaster… > On 11 Sep 2021, at 15:21, Godfrey DiGiorgi <godfreydigiorgi@me.com> wrote: > > I've become slightly obsessed with the 1950s Kodak Retina 35mm folders and have acquired a couple of them now.
