Just getting started? The Kodak Retinette 1B is a camera that is sure to become a favourite. Its F/2.8 45mm lens allows for a wide aperture, great for low light conditions or shallow depth of field, and its wide focal length is ideal for capturing landscapes and street scenes. The manual controls, while initially intimidating, are easy to use once you get the hang of them, and the camera also has a number of additional features such as a cable release function, cold shoe, and selenium cell light meter. Keep in mind that the Kodak Retinette 1B does not automatically advance to the next frame, so you'll need to keep track of your film manually. The self-timer at the bottom of the lens is a useful feature for selfies, but it may not work properly if the camera is very old and has not been used frequently. Despite this, the Kodak Retinette 1B is a reliable and beautiful camera that will surely become a favourite for any film photographer.
