Very nice little thing and I think more reliable than the Retina rangefinders they were competing with.

Nice little thing indeed. No idea if they were better then the Kodaks from Nagel?
At my brothers is a Retina Ia waiting for me. I hope you are wrong Very Happy

I have Retina with Ektar , issue free camera , may I was just lucky, don't know. Welta cameras are trustworthy great ones I agree.

I have worked on a couple of Retinas.

The problem with the rangefinder ones is the shutter cocking mechanism, which is weak and troublesome.

Less a problem with the viewfinder ones which are much more reliable.
