My Retina IIIc



Recently I have been experimenting with a Retina IIIc (little c). When I first got it, I thought that it was jammed but I forgot the shutter locks when the frame counter gets to 1 (Details can be found in the manual here. Have you noticed that Cameras designed by or film companies are designed to stop you getting extra frames from a film.

I checked the meter and found that it was accurate enough for print film. I exposed a film largely in the Fenland village of Upwell. The Retina IIIC is really too large to classed as a compact camera despite the fact it is a folder. However, it is a reasonably easy camera to use. I am reasonably pleased with the results given that the weather conditions were not ideal.
