It's a good idea to introduce each camera with a photo of it, Jussi.
Many including myself have a limited knowledge of all these compact models.

EDIT: Ok, I see that also Attila does it Laughing

I 100% agree with this. (I used both cameras) And this lens is better
than IIIC's 2/50 too, may be the same lens as IIa's. I am nor sure of this.

Btw, very nice shots.

My favorite Kodak rangefinder. And these shots you took demonstrate why that is. One of the best pocket 35mm cameras ever.

Wow these are nice. Not to be rude but the "grandmother" looks kinda not real. Is she real?

I have a Retina IIIC/c and it doesn't fire. Do these cameras need film in order to fire? I have it poked somewhere and should dig it out again.

Nice looking camera and beautiful pictures form both of you.

I always heard these cameras took nice pictures and the pictures prove it.

The grandma is a statue.

You have to set the retina film counter to a number >1 for it to wind on, Kodak had Nagel build a count-down contraption so we wouldn't be able to squeeze in an extra exposure or two.

nice stuff, Jussi. the retina is a big-boy camera; what a fine lens.
