Spec Notes
Roughly 250,000 units, February 1963 to 1966, serials 285443-540065. Rodenstock Reomar 45mm f/2.8. Coupled selenium meter with the needle visible in the viewfinder and a larger meter lens than the Type 037. Two hardware dimensions separate it from the 037: the shutter (Pronto LK to Prontor 500 LK) and the body (hot shoe added, enlarged meter lens, depth-of-field scale). Weight and dimensions NOT SOURCED. REOMAR IS A KODAK TRADE NAME, NOT A MAKER. Both Schneider-Kreuznach and Rodenstock supplied Reomars to Kodak AG, the Rodenstock version based on Schneider's original triplet, and the SAME Type appears with both. The maker is therefore a per-example fact resolved from the engraving - 'Schneider-Kreuznach Reomar' or 'Rodenstock Reomar' - exactly the rule this catalogue already applies to the Retina DKL lenses. No maker is asserted on this row.
