Hi All! I just bid on , and won , a camera just like this one on ebay for 99 cents with 7.50 USD shipping. The fellow has an excellent seller rating, so I thought I'd chance it.  I used to have a Ricoh 500 G that was very similar in appearance. It was a great little camera, and I hope that this turns out to be just as good. Anyone out there ever had any experience with one of these? Doug |

The price is right. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Doug,
The camera looks fine, never seen a "Infomatic"-model before. Nice find !

Hi All! The first photo of this I posted was a file photo. I got the actual camera yesterday. I love it ;D  It just needs a good cleaning and some new seals. It has the original hot shoe cover, uses up to ISO 800 film, and the meter even works !! Not bad for 99 cents, eh? Doug |

Nice score, Doug. I'd never heard of this camera 'til your first post. Not much info out there on it.

Very cool Doug and one I hadn't heard of either. OK, I'll give you $1.99 for it, LOL.

Hi All! Got done outdoors, and decided that this would be a good day to work on a few projects. I cleaned my Ricoh, and replaced the old gooey seals.  It's hard to find any info on this one, but it appears to have been sold as a Ricoh 35 ST, ZF, and Infomatic. If anyone can help me further, I would greatly appreciate it. Now to get some film in it, and see how it does Doug |
