Mind if I kick off this new forum with the rare Retina Ektar?

I'll have to get some film put through that Retina and contribute here.

Nice image! Now I understand why these cameras sell for so much more than the average Retina.

I also have a IIa. The standard Schneider Xenon is no slouch, but the Ektar is special. Part of the price difference is due to rarity, but the models that come with Rodenstock lenses are also rare and not as highly sought after. Ektar lenses do have a certain allure.
