Scale focus, that‘s the expression I couldn‘t think of, thanks.

Indeed! That's a detail I wasn't aware of. Very interesting!

Look up a chap named David Jentz on Blurb.Yes, the IB is scale focus rather than RF.
Somewhere there must exist a good book on the Kodak Retina RF series cameras...

Nice! Almost the same experience for me, but with a Canon P. I let it go because I was much happier with my IID2.I bought an as-is parts body Canon 7 for peanuts. I was able to bring it back to life. Everything seems to work now even the meter. I've had one before but my esoteric inclinations lead me elsewhere.
This is a beautiful and well engineered camera. It does not get nearly the praise it should.

I'm glad you solved that because it's so long since I used Blurb that I wouldn't have had a clue!Hmm. How do you look up someone on Blurb.com? I see no "search" button.

I got a nikkor 105f/2.5 in poor cosmetic condition but glass looks clean. For £5 I can't complain

Nice, been after one for a while myself but just can't get the timing of price and budget right and won't pay ebay's silly prices.

This one is in poor cosmetic condition, the hood is missing and so is the rubber around the focusing ring. I don't see any fungus though and aperture blades are clean and snappy. I might take the front elements apart and clean some of the dust off.Nice, been after one for a while myself but just can't get the timing of price and budget right and won't pay ebay's silly prices.

For £5, - no fungus, no scratched lenses, snappy blades - it can even be painted in pink with purple dots.This one is in poor cosmetic condition, the hood is missing and so is the rubber around the focusing ring.

Looks like the final AI-S version. I have all the versions except the Sonnar. They are all superb.
Lucky to find that for that price. Even ugly but without optical faults, it's a great lens.

It's all about the glass and surprised it's good, looking at the state of the body but I have rough body lenses that still work great and one could easily put a rubber on it from a scrap lens and some work with a sharp blade.This one is in poor cosmetic condition, the hood is missing and so is the rubber around the focusing ring.

The Nikkor 105/2.5 is one of the special lenses in the Nikon line. Many photographers, including myself, made it on of their most used standard lenses for Nikon F, FM, F2, etc.

Did it. Used a rubber ring from an old Miranda zoom. The lens hood is there actually. Only issue is the amount of dust behind the front element. I will have to open it and clean it.It's all about the glass and surprised it's good, looking at the state of the body but I have rough body lenses that still work great and one could easily put a rubber on it from a scrap lens and some work with a sharp blade.

Edit:
I Opened it and now is all clean and ready to shoot.
