Ricoh AF-50 (1985)

Ricoh AF-50 (1985)

#198

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo

Características

The AF-50 is an autofocus point-and-shoot camera for 35mm film, introduced by Japanese manufacturer Ricoh in 1985. It was also sold by the name of AF-70. In Japan, this model was widely marketed by the name of Myport ELLE. A version with a databack was also available and it was sold as the AF-50D or the AF-70D. The AF-60 (known as the AF-606 in some other markets) is the model which received minor upgrade to its exterior design. It has mostly the same features as the AF-50 but it does not have the manual ISO selector for non-DX film. There are several models which look identical to the AF-50 series cameras but with slightly different features; the series with a 3 element Ricoh lens.

Ricoh 500G (1972)

Ricoh 500G (1972)

#135

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo

Características

Here we have another compact rangefinder from the early 70s, similar in size to the Konica C35, and similar in features to the Olympus 35RC or Canonet QL28. In other words it has the advantage over the C35 of having full manual override in addition to the aperture priority settings, and the disadvantage of having no ‘Flashmatic’ setting for automatically relating GN to aperture. You have to manually set the aperture for flash photos. The Ricoh 500G is almost the exact same size as the C35 and like it a black model is also available. But for a change I think the silver one looks cooler. And as with many Ricoh cameras a Sears-branded equivalent can be found, called (I believe) the Sears 35|rf.

It is full manual or shutter-priority automatic, you set the shutter speed and either set the aperture to A for auto or manually select the shutter speed. It’s a perfect size for compact rangefinder, and rather full-featured, the lens isn’t as fast as the Canonet QL17 or Vivitar 35ES but it’s definitely a good performer and if you wanted a full-featured compact rangefinder on a budget you wouldn’t have to look any farther than this. I think the performance of even the 2.8 Hexanon on the C35 is slightly better and more contrasty but then, as everyone who has followed my advice and picked up a C35 finds out for themselves, that little Hexanon is in a class by itself. (This one might be better at wider apertures though.) I should point out that though I keep comparing the two, the 500G is its own design and not a copy or rebranding of the C35 as cameras like the GAF Memo appear to be.

Very ugly light seals, fixed with creatively placed strips of Foamies (see your local craft store) attached with Pliobond. CAREFUL with this – I thought I had it all set and found it was still leaking light. I had to go back and put in additional strips of felt at the back latch area. (If I were to do it over I might just use all Presto-felt.) Also cleaned up the glass and metal with Windex and the leatherette with Lexol.

he focus ring is on the very edge of the lens barrel, opposite of what I’m used to with these little rangefinders; usually it’s close to the camera body with a lever or thumbrests to help you focus, here that job is given to the aperture ring and also to the shutter speed selector so practice practice or it gets a little confusing. By the way, the camera does a nice job on the auto aperture setting ‘A’, shutter speed is still manually set.

The manual states explicitly that for flash pictures you need to manually calculate the aperture according to the standard formula ‘flash guide number’ / ‘distance to subject’ = ‘aperture’. I intend to verify this but in the meantime I’d take its word for it. No ‘Flashmatic’ setting here.

Replacements for obsolete batteries such as the once-common PX675 (this one) and PX625 can be got at www.photobattery.com or Radio Shack. In this case, the shutter works using a 1.4v zinc air hearing aid battery, $5 for a pack of 8 at Radio Shack

Ricoh TF-900 (198x - ?)

Ricoh TF-900

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo.

Câmara gentilmente oferecida por Ida Brandão.

Características

The Ricoh TF-500 or TF-900 is a late 80s compact camera with autofocus and a 35 mm lens, switchable to 70 mm through a button on the top. Its electronics are quite advanced for its time, with an information-rich LCD on the top, indicating number of exposures available, if the film is a DX coded one (and, if so, what speed), and if exposure compensation has been activated. It has a continuous shooting mode, a self-timer and a backlight compensation button. The viewfinder indicates focusing zone using three symbols, a trait shared with the early generations of autofocus cameras but later abandoned. The date-back version was called the TF-500D/TF-900D. A rather hefty accessory 2x teleconverter, the TC-105, was also offered.

Wide-angle: 35 mm f/2,8; 4 elements/3 groups.
Tele: 70 mm f/5,6; 8 elements/6 groups.
Focusing: Autofocus with pre-focus ability, closest range 0,9 m.
Shutter: Programmed electronic shutter, 1–1/500 s.
Viewfinder: Albada type with bright lines, parallax correction marks and zone indication. Adjusted according to lens focal length. 0,7–0,38 x magnification, 84–87 % field of view.
Exposure range: EV 3–17 (wide), EV 5–17 (tele). +2 exposure adjustment.
Flash: Built-in pop-up flash, automatically activated with flash-matic exposure. Can be used as fill flash. GN 12. Reloads in 2–3 seconds.
Film speed: DX decoding from 64 to 1600 ISO. Non-DX films set at ISO 100.
Film advance: Easy loading, motor advance and rewind. Last bit of leader left out.
Power: 1 x DL223A/BR-P2DP 6 V lithium battery.
Dimensions and weight: 137 x 73 x 50 mm, 320 g (without battery).
