Kodak Retinette IB (1959)

It's from 1959 and is a 35mm compact camera but fully manual with built in light meter. Manual exposure and aperture . Beautifully made and it handles wonderfully. The meter is uncoupled, giving readings that are transferred to the camera via the light-value scale on the lens. Like all the II models it has automatic DOF markings, red arrows that move to the appropriate distances as the aperture is changed.
