I got this camera from ebay for 1 euro, and used it on my travels this summer. Though it is not a rangefinder camera, it's a Kodak Retina derivate, and I used with a Watameter clip-on rangefinder. So I think this section is the appropriate one. The lens is a Rodenstock Reomar triplet, which turned out lovely images:
Film was Fomapan 100 if I remember correctly. The images seem sharp enough to me, with a lovely vintage tonality. To me the Retinette has become the low threshold for photography - the point from which the photographer's abilities become more imprant to image quality than the technological level of the camera. I hope you enjoy the images.

Thanks for sharing. That little Retinette has a pretty decent lens! Bob

I had a Retinette years ago but the camera I loved best from that time was a Kodak Retina 1a 35mm folder with a Schneider 2.8/50 lens. It was so compact and the lens was terrific.
