Kodak Retina Reflex S (034)
The Kodak Retina Reflex S (Type 034) is a 35mm SLR introduced in 1959, produced by Kodak AG in Stuttgart. It uses interchangeable front-cell Retina Reflex lenses and was positioned as a step up from the folding Retina rangefinders, bringing reflex viewing to Kodak's German-built line.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Retina Reflex S (034) have sat in a narrow £69–£70 band across the two recorded sales, giving a median around £70. With so few data points, what a Retina Reflex S is worth in 2026 depends heavily on cosmetic condition, working shutter and meter, and whether a clean Schneider or Rodenstock front-cell lens is fitted; prices outside this band are plausible but not evidenced here.
