retina iiic 35mm/80mm lenses

[msbarnes]

anyone use these things?

I've though about picking some up from time-to-time but they seem like a hassle because you cannot fold the camera--kind of self defeating the purpose of this camera. The IIIs seems more suiteable for this.

I'm just wondering if anyone is happy with these lenses.

Both are fine lens but using them is a bit awkward. You first have to focus in the normal way then transfer the distance to the scale for which lens you are using..

yes, quality is good, but the use is really quite tricky. Therefore I sold mine and use the IIIs.
