Ricoh "35" rangefinder

[dosilverhalide]

Hello, does any one know the size of filters for this camera, or where to get them. The camera model is Ricoh 35, and old rangefinder from the l950's. I don't have a photo at the moment.

Are you able to post a photo of the camera? That might help in answering your question.

If you can't make an image yourself, find one through Google search.

Never moved a picture to apug so it might be here and it might not.

Is the front of the lens threaded for a filter. The pictures in the manual (http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ricoh/ricoh_35/ricoh_35.pdf ) don't look like it is threaded for a filter. If it is threaded, measure the inside diameter of the threads and that should be close to an integer filter size in millimeters.

27mm, might be easier to find a slip-on Series 5 adapter.

If you found out the size:

The german manufacturers Heliopan and B+W have a great choice of filter sizes (threaded and slip on).

If your local photo shops offer used stuff too there might also be a box with filters.

1950s cameras are wonderful , I have 1954 and 1957 Popular Photography almanacs and attention to humans is wonderful , I think US wanted to Show eastern bloc how they value the people. After 90s , there was no need to propaganda , all Money cut and süper groups , artists , photographers etc era died. I am seeing the us intelligence as vatican to support artists for propaganda. Now new fashion is to support and pay big Money to Chinese art , they say come , paint a shit we will pay great Money. They escape to US and end up as the Street prostitutes or drug sellers.
