Kodak Retina IIIc with Retina-Heligon C 1:2 50mm Serialno.1924487
Fine example in great condition. The camera is in fine exterior condition and is mechanically functional, it has not been tested for accuracy, or with film. The shutter is working well; fires on all speeds, and sound good to the ear, a tiny bit of hesitation on 1/1. Central shutter is clean. Diaphragm is clean and aperture setting work without fault. Lenses are clean and clear; no fungus, haze or separation. There is some dust inside, but should have no impact on image quality. Self-timer is very sluggish. Light meter work, with consistent readings and no twitching. Rangefinder work. Viewfinder has a little yellow haze. Film transport and frame counter works. The red arrow that matches the result from the lightmeter to the camera program is not moving, all other buttons, levers and knobs work properly. Doors open and close without fault. Cosmetically the camera is in excellent vintage condition (see images); only modest wear.
