If you ever need to get that Kodak camera cleaned and adjusted there is an
older gentleman in Jupiter, Florida who will do it for around $50-60. I
had mine done because the viewfinder/rangefinder was cloudy. It came back
beautiful. This guy has worked on hundreds of Retina cameras. But he is
getting old and when he dies all that knowledge goes with him. I get the
same feeling holding that retina as i do with an OM-l. Very nicely made.
