Vintage Kodak Retinette IA (1A) 35mm film camera, made in Germany and supplied with its original case.
The Retinette IA was introduced in 1959 and was produced in several versions through the first half of the 1960s. These well-built German-made cameras feature manual focusing, manual exposure controls and a completely mechanical shutter.
This example has been tested and is fully working.
The camera is in very good cosmetic condition, with only light signs of age and previous use. It presents very well for a camera of this age.
The original camera case is included.
As the Retinette IA is completely mechanical, no batteries are required. It uses readily available standard 35mm / 135 film.
A lovely example of a classic German-made Kodak and equally suitable for use, display or a vintage camera collection.
No film is included.
