Kodak Retina II Camera c. 1949

Details

An exceptional late 1940s 35mm folding rangefinder camera manufactured in Stuttgart, Germany, by Kodak AG. This Retina II (Type 014) model features the highly desirable ultra-fast Schneider-Kreuznach Xenon 50mm f/2 lens paired with a high-speed Compur-Rapid shutter. Constructed with a compact black leatherette-covered metal body, coupled rangefinder, and a folding front strut mechanism. Interestingly, the Retina II series was a favorite pocket tool among post-war photojournalists and travelers due to its world-class optics and pocketable footprint. Displays authentic age patina and light wear on metal edges, offered as an untested historical display piece. A prized addition for serious camera collectors and classic interior styling.
