[QUOTE="Brian, post: 246186, member: 17621"] The Kodak Retina Reflex-S and IIIS Rangefinder were introduced a few years before the Nikon F, featured Compur shutters. Schneider and Rodenstock made the lenses for the German Kodak cameras. Inexpensive "Deckel Mount" to Nikon F-Mount adapters allow use of these German optics. Mine was ~$40 off of Ebay. The Schneider Xenon 50/1.9 is a classic 6 element on 4 group Planar. Early versions focus to 3ft, mine is a later version that uses 52mm filters and MFD of 2ft.
