Hi!
Could someone please explain enormeous price for KODAK RETINA IF 641-743$ http://collectiblend.com/Cameras/Kodak-Eastman/Retina-IF-(046).html
I also find it strange that photo presented is exactly from the Ebay add selling right now (also priced pretty high) here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370142336071&ih=024&category=98923&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1
Thank you,
Jure
KODAK RETINA IF strangely high price?
Re: KODAK RETINA IF strangely high price?
Yeah, seems like a high price. This is a price from PhotographicaWorld: 475-550 €.
Probably they had a typo or something. MeKeown's shows $80-120. Also, considering that Photo-Arsenal can't sell this camera for $205.00 for a long time, $200 is somewhat high too.
I'll investigate further.
Jure, regarding the photo: here is the list of web-sites and companies which allowed me to use their images - http://collectiblend.com/Cameras/about.php
Photo-Arsenal is one of them, that's why I used this image. Unfortunately this particular camera was not presented at any recent auctions (or I would've gotten a better photo).
Seems like it doesn't have a high collectible value, unless for Retina collectors.
Thanks for the heads up!
Eugene.

Too late, i already won my piece . Anyway at least you'll be getting some better photos,
when i receive the camera. BR and thank you for your answer.

p.s.
I am a frequent user of Collectiblend, checking it always for references. It's around 80% accurate i'd say, and that is fine by me.
If you'll need help or cooperation in managing it or some investigation or photo making let me know. Otherwise i am even more into
manual focus lenses then vintage cameras. I think.

I guess the accuracy will go up with time since there will be more auction results added.
I am thinking about adding a "comments" feature for the cameras, so you'll be welcome to share your personal opinion about the cameras you own

Looking here 1F version doesn't seem that special: http://www.wctatel.net/web/crye/retina.htm
It hasn't been offered with Angenieux for instance that would explain high price. Still a bit of mystery that camera .
