Shooting this camera is simple and fun and I quickly took the whole film in a snappy kind of way.
It’s really a marvel of Japanese. Yes, the Ricoh 35 ZF is a small camera with subdued looks and simple features, but this nifty little shooter has shooting credits that speaks volumes despite its petite size. The Ricoh 35 ZF is an ideal camera for quick street photography — just whip it out and let its focus settings do the work for you.
- The Rikenon 40mm f/2.8 lens is one of the best in its class. It’s sharp enough, with good color transmission, It’s never too wide like a 35mm can sometimes be, and it’s never too tele like a 50 sometimes is (especially if you shoot with a 35 all the time). It’s almost perfect for general use: perfect for landscapes, decent for portraits, and just about perfect for walking around.
It’s a fairly simple lens is plenty sharp, and a 40mm at f/2.8 is fairly forgiving at all but the closest distances.

The camera is in good condition and ready to take pictures
