Ricoh AF-5

The Ricoh AF-5 is basic auto focus 35mm rangefinder camera. It was manufactured in the beginning of 1980 and is a fixed lens AF compact much in the same spirit of the Nikon L35 AF or Canon AF35M. The highlights here are the 38/2,8 lens that has a very good reputation and the ability to permanently shut off the flash. The viewfinder is quite nice or such a modest camera and indicates focus distance and flash warning. No control over the camera, except for the ASA setting, which is nice. The lens cap acts as a mains switch, with the cap on, no function whatsoever in the camera, no power, impossible to take pictures, very clever indeed.

Our collection consists of quality cameras. All of our cameras go through an excessive investigation of functioning. This includes testing of the shutter, flash, winder and all other functionalities. We check if there are any signs of fungus or haze on the lens. After investigating we rate our cameras. They fit into 3 categories depending on the state of the exterior.

MINT

Mint condition means that there are no signs of wear and the camera is "like new". Please take in mind that most of our cameras are older than 30 years and accessories like manuals or boxes can show signs of wear after that time period.

NEAR MINT

Near mint condition means that the camera can have some minor scratches or a worn off labeling. In general the camera will be in a good condition with minor cosmetical issues.

GOLD

Gold condition means that there are various signs of wear possible like scratches, dents or paint defects but the functionality of the camera is all tested and will operate a 100%.

EXTRAS

Some condition ratings include extras like "gold+manual". There are 3 different extras (sometimes combined) available. Boxed, Case and Manual. Boxed means the original packaging of the camera. (mostly with matching numbers) Case means a leather poach or another case that comes with the camera. The manual included is mostly in german language due to the location of our shop.
