This vintage Ricoh Riken 35 rangefinder film camera boasts a Ricomat 1:3.5 f=4.5cm lens, showcasing its silver color and falling into the film cameras and film photography category. It\'s In very good cosmetic condition, this Ricoh 35 35mm Film Rangefinder Camera operates smoothly, featuring a clean and clear viewfinder and a contrasty rangefinder. The lens is pristine, with no scratches, haze, or fungus, and the aperture and focusing mechanisms function rather smoothly actually; to be its age. I can say it\'s been babied and taken well care of.
The camera\'s beautiful brown hand tooled leather carrying case comes with the purchase of the camera, it\'s a perfect fit for vintage film camera enthusiasts and even someone that just wants a cool vintage camera to collect.Despite my affection for all my cameras, I must part with a few to cover expenses.
It also boasts exceptional craftsmanship, featuring both a knurled knob and trigger wind for film advancement and shutter cocking. The integrated viewfinder/rangefinder is bright and precise, complemented by a satisfyingly quiet leaf-type shutter. Film loading is a breeze with its removable back.
The camera\'s trigger wind lever, focusing knob, old-fashioned flash connector, and back-holding knobs are visible in the photo, along with the tripod socket.
I acquired this camera for around $450.00. Its current value, per collectiblend.com, ranges from $350 to $520 based on its condition. Perhaps I should have invested in more Ricoh \"35\"s back then.
Looking at the camera\'s side profile, the shutter speed indicator, adjusting rings for shutter speed and diaphragm, and the focusing ring with its knob. The top view showcases the film advance knob, film counter, shutter release, and a mechanism to disable film advancement for rewinding. The integrated viewfinder/rangefinder window sets this camera apart from its fifty\'s counterparts. I hope to find it a great home with someone that’s going to appreciate it and love it like I do.
