    Description

    This is a great opportunity to own an outstanding Kodak Retina IIIS with Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenar 50mm f/2.8 lens and ever ready case.  The camera was CLA'd by the wonderful Chris Sherlock in 2020.
    This camera is yours to gain - you will not find a nicer Retina IIIS.  It is superb.
    The STARTING Price is lower than the CLA cost of the body alone.  Buying this you KNOW you are getting a quality product that will last years.
    Cosmetically, this is near mint.  Leather is beautiful.  Very minor scuffs and scratches from normal use.  No dents or hard knocks.  Mechanically it is flawless as it should be after a CLA.  Everything functions exactly as it should - even the selenium meter.  I've even shot slides using the in-camera meter.  Meter also comes with the much desired incident cover so you can take incident meter readings.  Simply remove the cover for reflected light readings.  The viewfinder is bright and clear.  This is a very simple camera to focus.
    The Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenar lens is in great condition.  Mechanically, optically and cosmetically it is excellent.  You will get great photos out of this lens.  I have used the lens on this camera, on a Retina Reflex S, and on a Sony a900 all with outstanding results.  I DO recommend high-quality DKL mount adapters as they make using it on a non-Kodak camera much more enjoyable.
    The bundle also includes an ever ready case and the lens hood for the 50/35 lenses.  The lens hood is perfect!  It is small enough to still fit in the case while it is on so makes storing and using a breeze.
    I am also selling a very nice Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Curtagon 35mm f/2.8 and 28mm f/4.  Both in DKL mount.  I will bundle to save shipping if you're interested.
    Please message me with any questions you have.  I'll do my best to answer them accurately and completely.
