WE COMBINE SHIPPINGDESCRIPTION: Second version of the DKL mount Kodak Retina/Instamatic Reflex Schneider 50mm f1.9 manual focus lens, serial number 11317972, made in Germany. With generic 52mm front cap, no rear cap but the glass will be protected for shipment.This lens was made during the time of the Instamatic Reflex and as such does not have the rangefinder ramp for use with the Retinal IIIS. It will fit earlier models of the Retina Reflex and can be used on the IIIS but there is no rangefinder coupling. It has a minimum focus of a bit less then 2' (closer than the original) and the filter thread diameter is smaller than the earlier version at 52mm. Some consider this version to be better than the first version.Glass is excellent, no fungus, no cleaning marks/scratches of note (though as with any used lens if you get out a strong flashlight and strong loupe you will probably find a few microscopic marks), no separation, no internal fog (the real image killer), just a bit of the usual dust inside. The aperture blades are free of oil and operate as they should. Focus smooth and not too tight. Cosmetics excellent, better than average, not mint, a bit of usage marking, no abuse. Lens is fully functional and sold as such.WHO WE ARE: Oddog2 is a husband/wife team, home-based small business specializing in the buying/refurbishment/selling of primarily photographic equipment.
