Edwin Molenaar

Eerste model van de Retina serie 1934-1935   Nr. 463888

Camera werkt nog goed. De lange sluitertijden zijn wat te lang
Draagt de nodige gebruikssporen (Hij is gebruikt tot 1974)

Manufactured in 1934 and 1935, this was Kodak's first in the long-lasting Retina camera series and was introduced at the same time as Kodak's "Daylight Loading cartridge" of 35mm film. 

Like all the Retina cameras that followed, this model was manufactured at Kodak A.G. in what had previously been the Dr. August Nagel Camerawerk factory in Stuttgart. The business had been purchased by Kodak in 1931.

All type 117 cameras had black-painted edges on the body casting, someone has carefully scraped the paint off the edges of this example. You might notice, that like on the later Retina type 118, the bright-work is nickel-plated, not chrome. It was not until the Retina I type 126 that chrome was used for the bright-work. 

This model is found with a Schneider Xenar 5cm f/3.5 lens in a Compur shutter
