Kodak Retina 1 Type 010



Before WWII, Kodak AG Stuttgart was manufacturing the Kodak Retina 1. Production stopped during the war and restarted in November 1945, except this model was the Type 010. This camera was produced for the US military and was exported to the USA as well as being sold in Germany. This camera isn't identical to the pre-war model.

Manufactured between 1945-49, it had a maximum shutter speed of 1/500, a Bulb setting, and a widest aperture of f/3.5. There is also a frame counter and a 50mm Kodak Anastigmat Ektar lens. There is also a depth of field scale on the base, along with a tripod mount. The remote shutter release is on the top plate next to the winder. The lever marked R and A indicates rewind and advance. The camera also has a double exposure interlock.
