Hello everyone, I bought an old Kodak Retinette 1A in a fleamarket. It seems to be in working condition, although I’ll only know for sure after I developed the first photos. I found a manual for a later version (or a different one, the manual is in English and the camera is from Germany) but the lense and the labeling on the lenses are very different from mine.
I was hoping maybe someone with more knowledge of photography could help me make an educated guess. I assume the part labelled with an “m” is distance in meter, but otherwise I have no clue.
Update: Unfortunately the developed Film came out empty, so either I made a terrible mistake or the camera is broken :(
You have distance to the focus plane on the focus ring and f-numbers on the aperture ring.
The ranges visible in the second picture show the approximate depth of field at various apertures.
Eg. in the photos the aperture is set f/11, the focus at 20m, and the markings for “11” show that the depth of field goes from ~4m to infinity (ie. everything from 4m and beyond should be relatively sharp).
Thank you.
