The f1.9 lenses accept filters and close-up lenses of 60 mm. diameter. No lens hood is ordinarily required as the
lens is deeply recessed in its mount.
OTHER ACCESSORIES include close-up attachment, table stand, copying stand, 1:1 close-up stand, microscope
adaptor, right-angle finder, and framefinder.
The film speeds are set on the film speed dial of the exposure meter. The film counter in the camera top counts
exposures backwards. The film release frees the film transport lock and permits advancing the film without
exposing it (for example when changing partly exposed films). The release button in the camera top
incorporates the cable release socket. The film counter setting button is mounted in the back of the camera. The
rewind knob incorporates a film-type indicator. The automatic depth of field indicator is coupled with the
aperture control. The shutter speed and aperture scales are cross-coupled with each other and are also coupled
with the setting marker of the exposure meter via the exposure setting wheel. The focusing knob is attached to
the focusing lens mount which carries a distance scale. The rapid winding lever advances the film and film
counter as well as bringing the winding sequence into action The reversing button in the camera base
disengages the film transport for rewinding the film.
Shooting with the Retina Reflex S. From left to right: Advance the film and tension the shutter with the rapid
winding lever; turn the exposure wheel to line up the setting marker with the meter needle; select a suitable
aperture-speed combination; focus the image through the viewfinder; press the release to expose.
THE RETINA REFLEX
THE RETINA REFLEX is fitted with a 2 in. (50 mm.) Retina-Xenon or Retina-Heligon f2. These lenses consist of
six elements of a symmetrical four-component design and have an angle of view of 47°. They focus from infinity
down to 2½ ft. The front element is interchangeable and can be replaced by wide-angle or telephoto units,
converting the whole lens into a wide-angle or telephoto system.
The built-in photo-electric exposure meter works with a setting marker, which has to be set to the needle
position and directly indicates exposure values.
The built-in Synchro-Compur shutter is similarly calibrated for exposure values and has cross-coupled speed and
apertures.
The lens accepts 32 mm. screw-in filters and close-up lenses (32 mm. is the outside diameter). The lens hood is
rectangular with a bayonet fitting on the back to fit the bayonet mount, surrounding the lens itself.
