Kodak Retina II (011)

The Kodak Retina II (Type 011) is a 35mm folding rangefinder camera produced in West Germany by Kodak AG in Stuttgart. Introduced in the late 1940s, it sat above the scale-focus Retina I in the postwar lineup, adding a coupled rangefinder for more precise focusing.

Auction evidence for the Retina II (011) is thin, with a single recorded UK saleroom hammer result of £156 in 2018. On that basis the camera's value today sits broadly in line with other postwar folding 35mm Kodaks, though prices realised at auction are highly condition-sensitive and a clean, working example with a clear rangefinder typically sells for more than a stiff or hazy one.
