Retina 141 evaluation
Last weekend I acquired a very inexpensive Kodak Retina 141, from 1939 (very close to end of production). It needed extensive restoration work done, which took me about 2 days to complete. This photo is from the test roll to evaluate its performance. I am continually impressed by the quality of these 80 year old Schneider lenses! (The Anastigmat EKTAR is exactly the same lens as Schneider's Xenar, its just that Kodak made them label the lenses as a Kodak product)
Ilford Pan F processed in BER49 (Atomal 49) for 7.5 minutes.
