1936 Kodak Retina 118



Recently I bought a 1936 Kodak Retina from the Czech republic from Ebay. Here are some photos of Kersey in Suffolk, a noted beauty spot and associated with the TV series Lovejoy. With the light behind me, the pictures are acceptable. Whilst it is satisfying using such an early 35mm camera, it is not really practical as a user. Note that the colour film I tested it with was particularly cheap and nasty. I used it because I have another retina that chews film up and so I tested the 'new' one with this film.
