New Retina Ia

[Todd Frederick]

I just received a Retina 1a from an eBay purchase. It's near mint. Easy to use, but what's the small button on top behind the shutter button?

The "Film Release Button." More info: http://www.cameramanuals.org/kodak_pdf/kodak_retina_iia.pdf

Thank you. I understand. Handy device.

Hi Todd
Good luck with your Retina.
My dad bought a retina 1a, second hand, about 1956, i still got it and use it, would never sell it.
