So I recently came into ownership of my great grandfathers Kodak Retina Reflex camera with three lenses. Its green and pretty outside so I think I might try it out.

Do it!
I inherited my grandfather's 1960s Kodak with lenses and he kept the manual and everything down to the warrantee card. Go experiment- even if it has light leaks you'll have a cool afternoon.

Thats the exact model. I have the hard leather case and the lenses. We got a spell of rain but will be doing this shortly.

Silly me, when you said GGF's I expected some sort of box type camera. Show us how the pics come out. BWT, where does the USB plug into that thing?

I never met the man, but this was the last camera he owned. The leather has that old smell to it that make it seem important. I took a phone shot of the camera itself to post because weather came in after I bought the film. Boo rain.

Does it take compact flash or SD? How big is the LCD?

I think there was a typo on the MB they put 35 mm. What dicks.

I hear you actually have to roll up your JPEGs when finished.
