Description: For picture quality hunters this is a DEAL. This camera was made in Germany and is equipped with 3 Schneider Kreuznach lenses!!! As you are well aware Scheider Kreuznach are the TOP OF THE LINE lenses, I wish they continued to make them for DSLR's but now Schneider is making all the high end glass for the movie industry.I have used them on my Canon 5D Mk iv with a DKL converter. They are pure magic. Low contrast and beautiful bokeh. In so many words you are getting a free camera with these beauties. All of them are crystal clear. This set came from the estate of a semi-professional lady photographer from the East Coast. All very nicely maintained. as a BONUS you get 7 filters and an adapter ring that mount on the 50mm lens A shot taken with it is attached as well. Please see photos for detailed description. Ask questions if there are concerns. About the camera: This is a Kodak Retina Reflex IV 35mm Single Lens Reflex camera made by Kodak AG in Stuttgart, West Germany between the years 1964 and 1967.
