Kodak Camera
Retina Ib (Type 018) 1954-1957

Kodaks are cheap, mass-market commodities, the early equivalents of disposable cameras.

But... there was one Kodak camera that actually attempted to be quality. This was the early Kodak Retina series that was first released in 1934. designed and built in Germany (Stuttgart) by the Nagel Camerawerks. Kodak bought the Nagel company in 1931 and while the German government seized it during the War, Kodak regained control in 1945 and produced cameras until 1969. The Nagel-era Retinas ooze German quality. Using the text or images

Almost 161,000 Retina Ib cameras were made between 1954-57, quite a lot! The lens (like the Ia) is a coated Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenar 50mm f/2.8.
