TYPE 011 47mm EKTAR. PARTS / REPAIR OR DISPLAY ONLY. THIS TYPE 011 HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND I DON’T INTEND TO EVER GET IT. FIXED OR LOOK ANY FURTHER INTO FIGURING OUT WHAT IS INTERNALLY WRONG. THIS IS A NON-RETURNABLE SALE. I DON’T KNOW IF PARTS ARE DAMAGED / MISSING OR JUST SIMPLY NOT WORKING. IF YOU PLAN ON GETTING IT FIXED OR DOING THIS YOURSELF & OPEN IT UP AND FIND SOMETHING. THAT WILL BE A HEADACHE TO REPAIR OR JUST NOT REPAIRED TO YOUR LIKING, SORRY. FOR EXAMPLE: MAYBE PARTS ARE MISSING AND YOU MAY NEED TO. OR, MAYBE IT JUST CAN’T BE FIXED? YOU GET MY POINT. I JUST WANT TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE WITH THIS. READ MY FEEDBACK & VIEW ALL THE PICTURES BELOW OF THIS CAMERA IN ALL IT’S FAULTS. ALSO, SCROLL DOWN FOR A VERY DETAILED DESCRIPTION. I DON’T KNOW IT’S HISTORY BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. THE FOCUSING TAB IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANYTHING AND FREELY SPINS. AGAIN, I DON’T KNOW IF SOMETHING IS JUST DISENGAGED OR A PART IS MISSING. SO, THE FOCUS IS STUCK AND WILL NOT ADJUST BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF PHOTOS THAT SHOW AS MUCH AS I COULD CAPTURE. THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE RUST? OR SOME KIND OF DISCOLORATION INSIDE THE CAMERA AROUND THE RETAINING RING OF THE REAR ELEMENT. PLENTY OF SHOTS OF THIS AS WELL. I DON’T THINK IT’S MOISTURE DAMAGE BECAUSE THERE IS NO FUNGUS. IN THE LENS OR A DAMP SMELL TO THE CAMERA, EVEN 19 YEARS AGO. THE LENS HAS SOME CLEANING MARKS / LIGHT SCRATCHES ON THE FRONT ELEMENT. THE REAR ELEMENT HAS MINOR HAZE. ALL OF THIS CAN BE SEEN IN MY PICTURES. NONE OF THE FLAWS WITH THE GLASS WILL AFFECT IMAGE QUALITY. THE SHUTTER SPEEDS ARE SLUGGISH AND NOT ACCURATE. THE VIEWFINDER / RANGEFINDER IS BRIGHT AND CLEAR WITH THE PATCH CLEARLY VISIBLE. AS THE FOCUS WILL NOT ADJUST, I DON’T KNOW IF THE RANGEFINDER IS WORKING OR NOT. ALL THAT SAID, IT’S A REALLY NICE CAMERA TO DISPLAY. The item “BROKEN KODAK RETINA II TYPE 011 RANGEFINDER CAMERA With EKTAR 47mm f2 LENS” is in sale since Friday, May 21, 2021.
