The '''Kodak Retinette''' is a series of [[35mm]] [[viewfinder camera]]s made in Germany by [[Kodak AG]]. They were a budget version of the [[Kodak_AG#35mm|Retina series]], without [[rangefinder (device)|rangefinders]]. The "B" models had [[light meter]]s. The models are difficult to tell apart from a distance, but identifying features include [[EV]] numbers above the lens, [[flash sync]]hronisation socket on lens or body, and distance markings in feet (for UK) or meters (continental Europe). Some models also have a button next to the shutter release that enables double-exposures to be made. Pressing it allows the shutter to be cocked when winding on, without the film moving to the next frame.

The Kodak Retinette is a series of 35mm viewfinder cameras made in Germany by Kodak AG. They were a budget version of the Retina series, without rangefinders. The "B" models had light meters. The models are difficult to tell apart from a distance, but identifying features include EV numbers above the lens, flash synchronisation socket on lens or body, and distance markings in feet (for UK) or meters (continental Europe). Some models also have a button next to the shutter release that enables double-exposures to be made. Pressing it allows the shutter to be cocked when winding on, without the film moving to the next frame.

Retinette lenses and serial numbers

All Retinettes have a body serial number.

  • On types 147, 160, 012 and early 017 cameras (including French versions of type 017) the serial number is located inside the back door adjacent to the film pressure plate.
  • The remaining Retinette cameras have the body serial number engraved on the top housing.

Here is a list of Retinette types with lens/shutter combinations:

Pre-war Retinettes

  • Type 147 - Kodak-Anastigmat 1:6.3 F=5cm lens / AGC-K3 shutter
  • Type 160 - Kodak-Anastigmat 1:4.5 F=5cm lens / AGC-K4S shutter
  • Type 160 - Kodak-Anastigmat 1:3.5 F=5cm lens / Compur shutter
