Kodak Retinette
is the name of a classic series of cameras manufactured by the Eastman Kodak company. They were introduced in 1939 as a less expensive alternative to the Kodak Retina series.
The first models were of the folding type using bellows and their lenses had three elements as compared to the four element Tessar lenses (Greek: Tessera meaning four) of the Retina series.
The first non-folding (rigid) variant was introduced in 1954 with the model 022. They most often featured Schneider Kreuznach Reomar lenses but, sometimes, Rodenstock Reomar lenses were installed. The Rodenstock lenses were based on the original Schneider Kreuznach triplet (three optical element) design. Kodak Anastigmat Angénieux lenses were also used especially for the French market.[4] Common shutters included Compur–Rapid as well as various Pronto, Vero and Kodak models.
The first rigid model of Retinette (Model 022) introduced in 1954. Lens is Scheider Kreuznach Reomar and the shutter is Compur–Rapid. Leather carrying case was included with the camera. A 29.5 mm skylight filter is attached to the lens. The lever on the left of the lens at 9 o' clock is the self-timer actuator. Construction of the body is all-metal, including the film advance lever at the bottom. The lens mounting plate is rectangular

This is an unmodified image straight out of my phone. My wife and I were out paddling our kayaks around a northern lake today, and it just looked like this. It's pretty hard to describe. The photo gives a sense of how it felt.
A great addition to my collection! It is as new and fully functional! This model is the last Nikon 35mm film camera in production when digital pretty much took over.
I heard about camera tossing from a work friend (oh no Tim, what have you done!?) at the beginning of this week (14 may 2008) and was so intrigued by the masses of brilliant examples on flickr that I had to ‘google’ exactly what it was and give it a try myself … Using my computer screen as my light source (with a slide-show of some of my other digital photos), these are my first attempts … this is sooooooooo addictive!

The building is shown with all of its related features. Like the trig markers, floodlights and railway tracks.
"It is unclear when this shed was erected, however we do know that in 1955/56 a “military barrack style wooden hut (was) requisitioned from RAF Pershore” (Peter Knight- former site owner) to form the housing over the ballistic camera. Clearly, the present structure is not of timber and at some period between 1955/56 and the erection of the Hewitt Camera in 1962, the wooden hut was replaced with the extant asbestos and aluminium structure, the wooden hut can be seen still standing in 1963 archive film footage. The shed has a pair of double doors to the south elevation which, when opened would allow the shed to be pushed down the tracks, leaving the camera open to the night sky. There is also a single door to the north elevation for pedestrian access. Because of the heat generated from the camera and associated equipment an electrical cooling system was installed, this largely survives today. The gearing, wheels and tracks used to push the shed forwards andbackwards still remain insitu. The shed measures 2.6 metres long, 2 metres wide and approximately 3 metres high to the ridge.Above the double doors a manufacturers plate is still insitu, it reads "Carter refrigeration"
