Ricolet (1954) - Ricoh

The "Ricolet" was one of the very first series of 35mm cameras that the Japanese camera factory Riken / Ricoh made from 1954 onwards. Although it can be clearly seen that the design of the 'Ricolet' looked with a wink at the famous 'Barnack' Leica screw cameras, it should absolutely not be considered a Leica copy, because it does have its own unique architectural style. .
