Kodak Retina IIc (020)

The Kodak Retina IIc (020) is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera introduced in the mid-1950s, part of Kodak's German-built Retina line aimed at serious amateurs who wanted a compact, pocketable camera with interchangeable front lens components.

With only a single recorded UK auction result in our data — a hammer price of £56 in September 2025 — the Retina IIc (020) is a thinly traded model at saleroom level today, and that figure is the clearest reference point for what one is currently worth. Condition is the dominant variable: a clean, working example with intact bellows and a smooth shutter will sell for more than a cosmetically tired body, and buyers should treat a single data point as indicative rather than definitive.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Kodak Retina IIc (020) worth today?

Based on the single UK auction hammer result in our records, a Retina IIc (020) sold for £56 in September 2025; clean, fully working examples can price higher, but this is the only verified sale we can cite.

How much does a Kodak Retina IIc (020) sell for at auction?

The one recorded UK auction sale in our data achieved a hammer price of £56, which gives a baseline value but should not be treated as a firm market median given the limited sample size.

Is the Kodak Retina IIc (020) a good buyer's camera at this price?

At around £56 hammer it represents a low entry point into a German-built folding 35mm rangefinder, but the value depends heavily on bellows integrity and shutter health, so inspection before purchase is essential.
