Ricohflex III Camera

Mostly good used condition. This camera was produced in September 1950 by Riken Optical Industries (Ricoh). The focusing rings around the taking and viewing lens are geared up for synchronous focusing, just as previous Kodak Reflex I/II. Its coated Anastigmat triplet lens provides great result in its class. The Ricohflex has a simple, modular-designed and low-cost box structure. The Ricohflex III has a pair of similar Ricoh Anastigmat 1:3.5 f=80mm lenses with AR coated. It was the world's first mass-produced twin-lens reflex camera. Missing the gear focusing ring on the viewfinder lens (top lens). The self erecting and closing hood, one side is detaching-it still works, but you need to be gentle when handling. The winding knob has some discolouration, maybe corroded? The film cage is in great condition. The leather carrying case has seen better days. It still covers the camera but the hinge part is worn out so the case is in two pieces. The carrying case is missing is missing a latch on one side. Estate sale-cash only please. Pick up from RCMP Safe Zone in Maple Ridge. 11990 Haney Place.
