Produced between 1937 and 1939, the Type 141 is historically significant as the first Retina model to feature the shutter release button integrated onto the top housing plate rather than on the shutter barrel itself. Fitted with a sharp Kodak-Anastigmat Ektar 5cm (50mm) f\/3.5 lens set in a Compur-Rapid leaf shutter, it combines elegant pre-war German precision engineering with a compact, pocketable folding bellows design.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOverall Condition: Very Good\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Bellows fold smoothly and remain light-tight.
