Kodak Retina IIIC (1958-1960)

The Kodak Retina IIIC (Big C) is the last of the folding Retinas. As an upgrade to the IIIc (small c), the changes included enlarging the viewfinder and providing fixed frame lines for the 35 mm and 80 mm lenses in addition to the frame line for the normal 50 mm lens. The light meter was changed and the flip-up cover for high/low light levels was removed. The very last of the "small c" IIIc cameras also got the new meter. About 68,000 cameras were made over three years. The list price in 1958 was $175, equivalent in purchasing power to $1,543 in 2018.
