Details

How wonderful it would have been if Ricoh's designers and constructors had dared to build in a rangefinder in the Ricoh FF-1, because that is actually the only thing on this small vest pocket camera - with quality lens and reliable exposure automatic - was still lacking to achieve a very great success in the 1970s. The FF-1 looks a bit like the well-known Minox 35 compact camera - with roughly the same technical specifications - but has a much better performing lens. The retractable lens construction means that this camera is only 3.6 cm thick when folded.
