Kodak Retina IIIc (021 I)

{"overview":"The Kodak Retina IIIc (type 021) is a folding 35mm rangefinder camera produced by Kodak AG in Stuttgart during the mid-1950s. It features a coupled rangefinder, an uncoupled selenium meter, and interchangeable front lens elements mounted in a leaf shutter. As of today the market is condition-sensitive: clean, working examples with a responsive meter and clear rangefinder sell for more, while examples with haze, fungus or a dead selenium cell sell for the lower end of that range. Check the rangefinder patch for clarity, the bellows for pinholes, and the shutter blades for oil; the Synchro-Compur leaf shutter often needs a service after decades of storage.
