A variety of filters are present, including Yellow (F II), Orange (F IV-1½ L), UV (F VII), and Red types in size No. 320 and 28.5mm, alongside a Wratten Skylight filter in size No. 250. Mechanical accessories comprise a Kodak Retina camera platform (Camerahalter), a Kodak Flashpack, a mounting bracket (Befestigungsbügel) for a Kodablitz unit, a threaded cable release, and various adapter rings such as a Retina step-down ring, step-up rings (No. 320/370), and coupling rings (No. 420). Protective equipment includes a flexible rubber lens hood, a metal lens hood for 35mm and 50mm lenses, and three yellow plastic Kodak-branded lens caps. The lot is accompanied by a Focusing Tables instruction booklet for Kodak close-up lenses. Items within the set bear manufacturing marks for Kodak Limited London (Made in England) and Kodak AG Stuttgart-Wangen (Made in Germany).
