Thousands of advanced amateurs have wanted a fine, 35mm 36-exposure film, precision miniature camera, but could not afford expensive models. The answer is Kodak Retina—economical to operate and extremely efficient.
Loaded as easily as a Brownie. Carries all of its controls within finger-tip range. Two knurled knobs facilitate winding and rewinding the film, which is always locked in position. At a turn of the film release knob only enough film for the next exposure can be wound forward, when it again automatically locks. Once set at the first exposure, the succeeding exposures, up to 36, are shown on a dial.
With eight speeds, including 1/300 second, time and bulb action, the famous Compur Shutter, operated by the exclusive plunger release, is capable of handling practically any speed sub ject. The shutter versatility is matched by the speed of the f/3.5 anastigmat lens.***
