Kodak Retina IIC, 50mm F2.8 Xenon, wide-open. Not long ago, I replaced the "Cocking Rack" on this camera. Micro-Tools still sells the part. The camera was discontinued 60 years ago.
The cocking rack is the "weak Link" of the Retina series. But- they hold up in most of them. Someone has to force the advance to strip it. Easily done- as a "special feature" is for the advance to lock up when the film counter counts down to "1". Many Ebay sellers not familiar with the camera will list them as "it was working, then stopped"...
My daughter has had her picture taken with a 35mm camera from almost all of the known manufacturers. And at least 150 different lenses.
