Jan,
What a nice camera! The folding Retinas were legendary. Compact, versatile, quiet (with the Compur shutter) and deadly sharp with fine optics. My memory is a little fuzzy. I recall the the lenses being Jos. Schneider, Kreutznach. Schneider lenses have always been world class.
In 1937, 35mm was still very new, having been introduced in Cologne in the spring of 1925. Kodak and Schneider fared better than Zeiss did at the end of the war. Zeiss had facilities in both the West and East zones.
Thanks for sharing your special camera.
Ken
Jeremy,
I am curious to see your photos.
