The Retina IIc is a 35mm rangefinder camera made in Stuttgart, Germany by Nagel Camerawerk. Between the years 1954 - 1957[1]. Approximately 136,000 were made[1].
It uses a coated 6 element 50mm Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenon lens with apertures of f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/11, f/16 and f/22. The shutter is a Synchro-Compur with speeds of 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500 and bulb. The exposure can be adjusted with the EV system which couples the aperture to the shutter speed. The range is from 3 to 18 EV. To set exposure without using EV, set the shutter speed first followed by the aperture. There is a V mode for self-timer with a delay of approx 10 seconds.
The camera has different accessories that you can purchase which include lenses, flashlights, light meter, tripods and lots more. This is all I have so far but I am trying to find more about it.
