The Retinette IIB (type 031) is a rigid-bodied 35mm viewfinder camera, made from 1958-1959 by Kodak AG in Germany. It has a built-in uncoupled selenium meter similar to the one on the Retina IIIC; it was the first Retinette model to have an exposure meter. The lens is a Schneider-Kreuznach Reomar 45mm f/2.8 in a Compur-Rapid shutter with speeds from 1-1/500 second, plus 'B'. The shutter has the Exposure Value system, whereby the shutter-speed and aperture controls are linked. The lens has a dynamic depth-of-field scale (the two red pointers, visible in the picture) coupled to the aperture control, also used on later rigid-bodied Retina models. The camera has a bright-line reverse-Galilean viewfinder, with parallax-correction marks. The film is advanced by a metal lever mounted underneath the camera. It has the same film counter, automatically resetting, as the IIc and IIIc models. Approximately 40,000 of the camera were built.
