Ricoh Auto Shot

[Doug T.]

Hi All!

Here's my latest one.
It's a Ricoh Auto Shot with an f2.8 35mm Rikenon lens.
It also has "guesstimate" focussing ( although there are symbols marked on it).

These came with a lens cover that did double duty as a flash, this one is missing.
I seem to be gravitating towards Ricoh products. Maybe they're just finding me
I'll give it a good cleaning, and some new seals. Other than that, it appears to work just fine.

Oh yes, I nearly forgot. It cost me 5USD ;D

I had a Ricoh 500G thirty or so years ago - nice little camera, then unfortunately developed a fault. It's probably still lying around somewhere, and is no doubt repairable.

Doug, yours looks solidly made. Is that the viewfinder at the top of the selenium cell?

Cute little half frame isn't it ?

Hi guys!

That is the viewfinder on top of the cell.
Even though it's very small, it's a full frame camera.
I've got a GAF Memo that's one of the half frame versions they produced.
