Nice. I just got the IIc - got good, properly exposed pics with Tri-X. Beautiful rich blacks and nice tone gradation. Splurged and added the IIa (f2.0) lens, but haven't used it yet. I'm not crazy about the EV system, but will get used to it. I'm a model railroader, too. Real trains need at least 1/500 second exposure.
wonderful pics! I have a Kodak retina, it was my grandfather and after years I started to take photos with that camera, gives in all photos a great vintage touch. great video man!
Locking speed to aperture with EV is one of the Retina series' best features. The squinty viewfinders are something else. Overhauling Retinas is also best left to highly experienced persons.
Stephen Arling Other cameras like the Hi-Matic have very closely coupled aperture and speed rings, so they work in a similar way. I haven’t found the VF a problem, but I’m used to small ones now, most of the stuff I’ve been using is older. I have not attempted repairing one of these, and don’t plan to. So I can’t speak from experience. I think the discomfort of any problems with the camera are offset by the excellent lens. Thanks for responding!
I just recently got my great uncles old Retina IB but in my trying to figure out how to work it I think I may have broken the shutter. The film advance lever seems to work fine as does the shutter release, its just that the shutter does not open when I try to take a picture. Do you have any advice on how to maybe try and fix this?

love the photo from your grandmom’s, that lens captures some beautiful quality images on the film!

Very nice photos you've taken with your Retina.
Kodak Retinas is on my list. Will get one when I have a chance.
Hey bro, just purchased this camera and love your video! keep up the good work.
The plastic ring on the bottom center is for the pin in a flash bracket that attaches to the tripod socket. It keeps the bracket from turning.
It's also for securing the tripod adapter. The adapter lifts the camera up from the tripod head so you can easier access the winding lever.
nice! have the same here and love it. I think your best shot was the 9:55 photo inside the food bar.

do you upload your photos or stuff to a social network? Hi from Mexico
Alan Dlrr I don’t. All my photos are on RUclips in various videos. All those containing photos are prefaced with “My thoughts on”
well, thanks. Nice content
Xenar or xenon?
