Kodak Retinette 1 Type 030

I have a bit of a love affair with Kodak Retinettes and I have probably got too many of them. They are slow to use with a few quirks, but they feel right in the hand and I think they are lovely to look at. This is a type 030, with the Compur shutter and the 45mm lens. A bulb setting and shutter speeds from 1 second to 500th. There is no range finder, you either fit one on the cold shoe, or you guess the distance and set the focus accordingly. These were in production between 1958 and 1959 and this is a UK model with the focus scale in feet. These little things can still produce nice images.
