![]() ![]() Shooting with this Retina is kinda cool, the unique design, focus is easy and fast. The retina IIIC got a built it selenium light meter, most of them already dead, but what’s on my hand is a working unit, although not so accurate, something like 1 stop under, so just compensate with iso setting, da da….problem solved, there goes an accurate selenium light meter. ![]() Went out for breakfast with my family at Jaya one, one of my favourite places to hunt for food. Time to give it a try, loaded with ilford HP5, iso set to 800. I like schneider lens, but sadly schneider lenses aren’t common for 35mm format, but hey, retinas are using them, and it is the Schneider Xenon 50mm f2, fast enough to get some bokeh shot. ![]() The kodak retina IIIC is totally different from other rangefinder that i use before, it has some unique feature like the folding lens unit, this was what that has drawn my attention to this camera in the 1st place, the bottom winder,selenium light meter and also a schneider lens. The Retina IIIC is different compared with Retina IIIc, the small c, i choose the IIIC it was because of the viewfinder, viewfinder of the BIG C is somewhere twice the size of IIIc, and it is bright, with frame line of 35mm, 50mm and 85mm, amazing right? Of course, the price was also cutting a hole in my wallet.Īfter some “try and error” (too lazy to read through user manual), i finally figured out how the camera works. ![]() Unwrapped everything, oh wao, this is cute, the Retina IIIC is way too small from my expectation, but it is very very solid, the built quality is good, what i can see is all the parts are made by metal. A few weeks ago i found a very great deal on a cool looking Kodak Retina IIIC from US, far far away, since i never use before, so i gave it a try after look through some pictures taken with this camera on flickr.Īfter 3 weeks, the camera arrived, i was so excited just like kids got their christmas present. ![]()
