My first Retina, a IIIc with the 80mm lens and hood, plus the viewfinder and incident meter cover attached








35/80 viewfinder for the Retina c/C series cameras , it has parallax correction on a dial at the back

 




The all important 50mm front element remover and keeper.

It was the best way to remove the front element of the Retina II/III c/C cameras without touching the glass and it gave you somewhere to keep the lens when not in use.

 



 Clockwise from top left: the tiny 35mm f5.6, the 35mm f4, the 80mm f4 lenses for the Retna c/C and Reflex C with their correct plastic keepers, and the convertible lens hood plastic case. This one has the 35mm hood with the 80mm attachment as part of the case, very ingenius.


 






 A very difficult to find ground glass focusing adapter made for the Retina c/C series.

It was so difficult and cumbersome to use, that I'm guessing not many of these were sold.

 

 







The stereo attachment for the Retina C series

It fit on the camera via a bayonet built in to the front of the camera lens and was used to take 3D pictures

 



Four types of light meters made for the Retinas, top right is one made by Metraphot for the early Retina cameras, the two on the left are later Kodulux L, made by Kodak AG, the two are the same except for the flip down diffuser. The front right was the last one by Kodak AG, a small masterpiece of engineering, it had a curtain diffuser that slid in front of the window to take incident readings

 

 


Some of the hood and hood/filter kits available





A nice little accessory case for the Retina II/III c/C that carried the 50mm hood plus the 35mm add on hood piece. It also fit a UV, yellow and orange filters. 


The correct lens hoods for the 80mm and 35mm lenses for the II/III c/C Retinas 



 

 

Three types of close range rangefinders/ parallax correction for the Retina II/III, these were used with the accessory close up lenses. The left top one is the oldest and came in a leather case with three close up filters. The middle one came in a brown plastic case with three filters. the one on the bottom was the last one made for the folding Retinas and it only had two lenses.

 

A  couple of Retina polarising filters, the 32mm for the f2/2.8 lenses, the 27mm for the f3.5

 







A right angle finder, probably made more for the later Retina Reflex cameras, but it also fit the c/C series cameras.

 



The three sports finders made for the Retinas. The left top was the earliest one, the other two were for the later cameras, the top right for the Retina Ib/B, the bottom one for the II/IIIc/C cameras with the mask for the 80mm lens, they all have parallax correction.

 






One of the Retina close up devices. You match the leg length with the right close up filter to take pictures between the two guides.

A Retina copy stand.

It came with the right angle adapter and the ball and socket head

 






Two type of Retina camera platforms
