A "rare" series of Retina II (Typ 011) - On field test

[DcAnalogue]

Indeed, it was equipped with a Schneider Kreuznach Xenon 50 mm f/2 lens. What makes a bit special the copy in my possession is a small white triangle (which means not coated) between marks that identify the lens and which is present only in a small number of copies, produced in Germany during 1948 for the domestic market. Of course this is only a little curiosity that adds nothing to the value of the camera itself, if not from the historical point of view.

You can see more on my Film Blog.

Thanks - I enjoyed your blog post.

You may want to repair the link near the top of your post, because instead of going to your blog it goes to the photo of the camera.
