Kodak Retina Reflex III (041)

The Kodak Retina Reflex III (Type 041) is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Kodak AG in Stuttgart, Germany, introduced in the early 1960s. It sat in the upper tier of Kodak's German-built Retina line and used the Retina Reflex interchangeable-front-element lens system, paired with a coupled selenium light meter visible on the top plate.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Retina Reflex III have ranged from around £50 to £130, with a median close to £80 — these are wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail. Condition drives the value spread: clean, working bodies with a responsive selenium meter and a clear finder sell for the upper end of that range, while tired or meter-dead examples regularly change hands for £50 or less. As of 2026, a tidy Retina Reflex III with one lens is typically worth in the £80–£130 bracket at auction.
