Kodak Retina 1b type 018

The Kodak Retina 1b (type 018) is an interesting example of the generally amazing Retina lineup. Unlike several of its later brethren, the 018 does not have a rangefinder, nor exposure meter, rather a coupled settings dial keyed to EV numbers from an external meter.

As with all pre war and most post war Retinas, the 018 is solidly built and a joy to operate.

This particular camera is loaded with Ilford Delta 100, pictures will be posted once developed.
