Thank you！
Today we will take a look at the lens of RICOH’s lens shutter film half camera released in 1965.
RICOH AUTO HALF S (Reference product)
The lens is located in the center of the camera, in the exposure detection window.
It will be a 4-element lens in 3 groups with f=2.5mm and f=2.8.
This lens was designed in-house, but Tomioka Kogaku seems to have been in charge of the manufacturing.
This time we introduced a lens for RICOH’s lens shutter film half camera released in 1965.
As for this lens, it is a historical lens that lasted until the 1970s.
It has been used for a long time because it was a solid lens from the time of its release!
Please look forward to the next issue, where I will continue to discuss the design and functions of film cameras that you may be interested in!
