What it is
{"overview":"The Kodak Retina IIIs (027) is a 35mm rangefinder camera with interchangeable lenses, part of Kodak's German-made Retina line produced in Stuttgart. Today, condition, working shutter and meter, and the presence of original accessory lenses are the main factors that decide what a IIIs sells for at auction. Inspect the selenium meter for responsiveness — many have lost sensitivity with age — and look for clean rangefinder patch alignment and haze-free glass on both the standard lens and any auxiliary lenses.
