This morning I've got a nice surprise.
An office colleague that owns a really big collection of cameras, went to my desk and gave me an small parcel. "It's for you" said Paco.
I opened it, and to my surprise it was a nice Kodak Retinette IA (model 044, from 1963). It has a 45mm f2.8 Schneider-Kreuznach Reomar lens, with a 4-speed Prontor 300S shutter.
Paco has told me: "The lens is loose...". And in fact it's. So my queue grows up...
Now it's time to look for disassembling clues. I see no screws inside as in the Voigtländer Vitoret.
Jes.

Not this time, Bob. This one has a lens retainer inside the case that has to be unscrewed to loose the lens...
I just miss a spanner wrench to try it.

What about grinding the tips off a set of dividers - that might work instead of a lens spanner. |

Thanks for the idea!... I already ordered a set from eBay. I think I'd need them, for this or for any other of the cameras or lenses. I expect to use them intensively
Click here to see on Ebay
What do you think about these?.

Let us know what you think of these, as I've heard the Indian ones are a bit soft and lose their edge.

Nice jes
You are becoming a real hand at rangefinder recovery program. I hope you will have enough time to make some photos as well. The Retina will be quite different from the cameras you have done so far. My experience with them is limited to SLR's. How lucky you are to have such thoughtful collegues at work.  |

Definately a nice looking camera Jes.
So I guess with a growing queue you will soon be able to give technical assistance based on experience.

Jes, just keep on building your retinue! This latest acquisition is a beauty, and I have a soft spot for these old Kodaks with their sharp Schneider-Kreuznach lenses. Congratulations!

For the price, probably are as you say. I could'n find any better ones...
