Hello,
I'm not an active member here... just lurk from time-to-time. However I'm hoping some of you nice folks will help me identify and approximate the current market value of a lens I found while going through my photo gear.
This is a Retina IIIs mount, I think, because it has the rangefinder coupler. It has the satin chrome focus/aperture base with the black barrel and the writing on the side of the upper barrel. It also has the original screw-on hood and fitted case. The lens seems to be in mint condition without any marks at all (finish as new) and the coated glass is absolutely perfect. The focus is smooth as silk throughout its range and the aperture works perfectly. The case shows minor wear. I can't post pics because it's dark here but, it if will help, I'll post pics Wednesday.
Thank you in advance!!
Mike
p.s. The serial number indicates a manufacturing date of 1968 and it does not have the "Retina" designation. Maybe this is for one of the later Instamatic Reflex models?
