Kodak Retina II (142)

The Kodak Retina II (Type 142) is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera introduced in the late 1930s. It sat above the original Retina I in Kodak's German-built Retina line, adding a coupled rangefinder to the compact folding body for more accurate focusing.

Sales data for the Retina II (142) is thin, so a reliable price band is hard to fix; the single recorded UK auction hammer result we have is £100, achieved back in 2008. Today, condition drives value heavily on these pre-war folders, and buyers should not assume that one wholesale saleroom result reflects what a Retina II (142) is worth across the wider market in 2026.
