Kodak Retina IIa (016)
The Kodak Retina IIa (016) is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera produced by Kodak AG in Stuttgart during the early 1950s. It sat in the upper tier of the Retina line when new, pairing a coupled rangefinder with a collapsing bellows-mounted lens for a compact, pocketable body.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Retina IIa (016) have been modest, with the two recorded results landing at £62 and £88 — a tight £62–£88 band at saleroom level today. With only a small sample of wholesale results to draw on, condition, lens clarity and shutter health swing what a given example is worth far more than headline averages suggest.
