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.

Not this time, Bob. This one has a lens retainer inside the case that has to be screwed 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

What do you think about these?.

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.  |

| 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! |
Thanks, Larry!.
I think fixing it would be easy as soon as I get the wrench. The shutter works smoothly as it does the lens and the diaphragm.
To be really shure of the shutter status I have to finish the shutter speed meter I'm building, based on a phototransistor and connected to the serial port of th PC (by now), although I'm thinking on an autonomous device based on a PIC microcontroller and a LCD display...
I'm really about to finish it, just I need days of 36 or 48 hours (at least).
Best regards.
Jes.

Nice camera, the lens is a Cooke triplet type so you ought to get quite decent photos. Never mind the shutter accuracy -- modern negative films have so much latitude that it doesn't make much difference if the speeds are one stop off. Remember, these cameras were intended for casual photography and they are most fun that way. Get used to zone focusing, preselect the zone according to the situation you are in, and the zero delay non-focusing will beat most digicam AF systems, which just keep hunting all over the place and finally focus on some random spot well after the critical moment is way past. Correctly used zone focusing never produces those hopelessly out of focus photos which are the bane of the slow AF digicams. ZF photos aren't very often extremely sharp, but at least the people in them are recognizable, and there may even be a little bit more immediacy in these not so perfect photos. Just learn the attitude, this kind of photography can be very relaxing after all the stiff lip pixel pushing - and often strangely even more rewarding

Thanks for the info, Veijo. I fully agree with you in the Zonerangers. My Minox 35ML and the Konica C35V are such of, and I love them, (even if the lens is not outstanding). Living in a sunny place like this, it's easy to pick a wide DOF to get clear pictures... .

Nice one as well!. I see only a difference in the font type (in the engraved lettering on the front side)...
Yours seems to be the 'Kodak AG Retinette IA (type 035/7)'.

I came across a site which showed how to check shutter speeds with a monitor screen. <googles>
Here it is and it's our very own Rick Oleson http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-135.html

Hi Dave, thanks for the info. Do you know if it would it work with a LCD screen?
