VINTAGE Kodak Retinette 1A Camera with Leather Case and Instructions
$195
FOR SALE:
Vintage 1959 Kodak Retinette 1A camera in fantastic condition. Please check the photos. This particular Retinette 1A is the earlier 035 model as it has the "VERO" shutter. It was built in Germany between Feb and Oct 1959.
The sale includes the matching genuine leather "Kodak Retinette" embossed fitted carry case with felt lining and matching brown leather neck strap.
The camera is in great condition with no dents, nothing broken or missing. There are three tiny specs of black enamel paint missing off the top edge of the back door of the camera, but other than that there don't appear to be any other blemishes. The viewfinder is bright and clear, with the framing guides in the viewfinder still in great shape and easily visible. All functions on the camera that have been tested appear to work correctly. The rear door release still works, the film wind lever on the base of the camera, the film counter countdown still works beautifully and the shutter release feels great.
The Retinette 1A is fitted with a fixed German Schneider-Kreuznach Reomar f3.5 50mm lens which looks to be in great condition. The focus ring turns smoothly, as do the aperture (f3.5-f22) and shutter speed (30th to 250th plus "B") setting rings. All shutter speeds seem to work fine (haven't been tested for accuracy) and the aperture blades are snappy and clean and all set apertures work fine. The lens appears to have an original "Walz" brand 29.5mm Skylight filter fitted to protect the lens. I haven't removed this as it seems stiff and I didn't want to do any damage. There apears to be some dust between the filter and the front element of the lens. THis should clean up nicely once the filter is removed.
The original Kodak Retinette fitted brown leather case shows signs of wear (as would be expected in a 60 year old item that has been used). Some TLC and a light application of a good leather conditioner on the case and strap will see it soften it up beautifully and bring it back to its full glory.
I have sourced a printed colour copy of the original Kodak Reinette 1A Owners Booklet and this will be included in the sale with the camera and case.
I will accept cash for local pickup - the camera is located in Geelong (Vic). Can be well packed and posted (at buyers expense) within Australia via Australia Post with tracking for $20, in which case payment by bank transfer will need to be made prior to posting.
I do not accept PayPal payment.
