Two models that I know of are the IIc and the IIIc which comes in a little c and a big c version. They are simple cameras that require three things to be set to take a picture: Lens opening, shutter speed and distence. All cameras require that but semi-autonatic and automatic cameras may not require those three settings. Most automatic cameras only require pushing a button to take a photo. Digital cameras vary as to what is required to be set.

The Kodak Retina cameras began with the Retina I designed sometime in the 1930’s up to the last retina , the Retina IIIC in 1957 almost 70 years ago and they produce stunning photographs. Unfortuantely they use 35mm film which is becomming scarce because most people use the camera on their cell phone which is more than adequate but nowhere near as good as the photographs from a Retina. They may not be the camera for you but for me they are wonderful cameras that I enjoy almost more than taking photographs.
