Retinettes

All Retinettes have a body serial number.

  • On Typs 147, 160, 012 and early 017 cameras (including French versions of Typ 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.
