(I wound up with an FTb.) Note the rapid wind lever on the bottom of the body! I don't consider any of the "Retina" models to be "true" Kodak cameras. As the Web site you linked to explained, the Retina bodies and lenses were made by "Kodak AG" (which was a German company and a subsidiary of U.S.-based "Eastman Kodak"). Kodak AG was originally named "Nagel" and was bought by Kodak, in 1931. John |
