    According to Karl Otto Kemmler´s Book "Kodak Retina" there were only about 2000 of these built, in 1957.
    By the Time they bulit the very last ones of the IIIc (small c ) their Supplier only got the new one-Stage Meters so Kodak just changed the Housing a little bit and fitted the new Meters in there. I find that very neat!
    Very nice Example, I am lucky to have one :-)
    Good to see you back filming :-)))

    Drop in digital modules will replace the film cartages. Partially controlled by Bluetooth, these mechanical cameras will be used once more.

    • @ChrisSherlock
      @ChrisSherlock  Год назад +2

      Someone had a go at 'digital film' quite some years ago, it didn't reach the market then. I think the constant improvements in pixel-count in digital cameras at the time was too hard to keep up with. I remember now, it was called Silicon Film.

    Hello, I inherited a Retina IIIc (small c) that had been my grandfather's. He passed in 1999; camera only just came to me last week. The caretakers never checked and I discovered that there is film inside. The film door is stuck. The button release does not depress. Is it acceptable to use a drop or two of WD40 to try and unseize the button? At the moment I don't know if its simply stuck or misaligned and therefore blocked from movement.
    I do see the references to use of naphta for cleaning - but don't know if its appropriate in all cases and ... I prefer to look foolish asking rather than make things worse. It would be ideal to get it open without creating further damage.
    The indications are the film is color print film; which is doubly lucky. He used to shoot a lot of Kodachrome. ...but this would be C41 stuff that I would at least have a chance to get developed ... once I get it out of the camera!
    TL;DR - Is a lubricant a reasonable approach to trying to unstick a stuck Retina IIIc film cover release button? If yes, what would be best?
    Thank you.

    • @ChrisSherlock
      @ChrisSherlock  6 месяцев назад +2

      There is nowhere to put WD40 until the mechanism is apart. I assume you already have the film rewound into the cassette else you would not want to open the back yet. I would use an aluminium drift and a small hammer to shift that back-catch. You can deal with lubricating the parts later. If the back-catch is that stuck there will likely be other problems to be dealt with. Good luck with recovering the images, you never know what you'll find on an old film.

      @@ChrisSherlock Thank you so much for the kindness in replying. I gave the answer the thumbs up yesterday but couldn't respond until today. I will be heading to my local hardware shop to purchase an aluminum punch/drift set later today. Along with the Retina I also received a Rolleiflex 3.5T and a Topcon RE Super. (The Rolleiflex might also have film in it, I just need to review proper rewinding procedure to make certain any film that's in there has been rewound as the Rollei is different from any other camera I've used prior).
