A great little Retina IIIc 35mm film camera with a working light-meter. I bought this some months ago, serviced the aperture and shutter blades (cleaned, graphite-lubricated), ranged the focus, and have shot multiple rolls of film on it. (See images for a photo taken on this camera). I have no complaints with it; this is one of three Retinas I own, and I\'m looking to sell this one too buy a 4x5 camera.
The accessory lenses are both Schneider-Kreuznach lenses - a 5.6/35mm and a 4/80mm. The 35mm was already beautiful when I bought it. The 80mm had mild fungus, and I took it open and cleaned it. See detailed images.WHAT WORKS:- Light meter- Shutter (1 second manually timed at 1.04 seconds)- Aperture, timer, rangefinder-focus, film-count, bulb-mode- Cosmetically beautiful (I think! - See pictures)
IMPERFECTIONS:- The winding lever has a little sluggishness on return. This hasn\'t caused any functional problem for me.- Some mild scuffs on case (see pictures).- The screw that tightens the case to the camera was not staying in the case when the case was removed so I added a little hardware clip to hold it in place. Note that it has always held fine when it\'s tightened onto the camera.
