Kodak Retina IIC Rangefinder Xenon 50mm f/2.8 – Spares or Repair

DESCRIPTION

Kodak Retina IIC folding 35mm rangefinder camera fitted with the Schneider‑Kreuznach Xenon 50mm f/2.8 lens, offered strictly as Spares or Repair. The camera presents well cosmetically but the shutter appears jammed and does not fire correctly. No further testing has been carried out.
