Seems like putting anything other than Kodak film in it would be a sacrilege. (But I’m an ilford and Fuji fan myself)

And so I think I would run a roll of Ektachrome thru mine when I got my rolls from B&H.

The Kodak Retina IIA was my first camera after I mastered the Kodak Box Camera. I bought it in 1950 for $125--a lot of money in those days. I used it exclusively until my Olympus OM2.
Now I have progressed to Digital.

Thank you for sharing this insightful and moving video. Well done to
Sigma to produce it for its artistic value.

Great rangefinder! Some people prefer it to the IIIC.
I have a IIIc (smaller viewfinder, rats!) and love it.
Folds small and takes great pictures. Since it was
bought new in 1959, it has never required any repairs.
I still shoot it sometimes.
For anyone who may not recall, these are German-made
Kodak cameras with Schneider lenses.

One thing that takes a little getting used to: like all the folding Retinas,
the film counter counts backwards: 36, 35, ..., 1.

And it stops shooting at 0.

That is one beautiful find and I ,too, love to collect older cameras. They were made so well and are works of art to me. I still play with them and love the noises they make from the shutters to the wind-up timing mechanisms that some have and they never need updates or batteries....who knew?
