Kodak Retina Ia Video Manual

A prototypical atomic-age camera, the Kodak Retina Ia represented the best of post-war Germany's engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Typical of many high-end camera s that exited Germany during the 1950s, the Retina Ia is marked by fantastic construction, high-grade optics, and very careful manufacturing. For entry-level cameras, these are simply stunners.
