For Sale Ricoh 500 Rangefinder With 45mm 2.8 Lens

NOTE: The following item(s) is part of a group of over 200 cameras that I recently purchased from the collectors estate. The majority are circa 1900-1950, with a few more recent. Lots of folders and box cameras. All have been sitting idle on display shelves for the last 20 years. Most all will have some degree of dust and light soiling. Due to lack of knowledge and time, they are basically untested. I will point out what obvious things I’m aware of regarding their condition. I’ve noticed that quite a lot of them seem to be fully functioning, however, they are being sold as collectors items, mostly for display or restoration. I will try to price them accordingly. If you feel I’m high…Make an offer.

DESCRIPTION: Ricoh 500 Rangefinder With 45mm 2.8 Lens. Front cap included.

CONDITION: Winds and fires but slow shutter speeds are not working right. Rangefinder is working, glass looks good.

PRICE: $37

Price includes shipping. USA shipping only. Shipping is thru the USPS only and will include tracking and insurance.

PAYPAL ACCEPTED (No echecks accepted from paypal). Money orders also accepted, but must be received within 5 days.

FOR PAYPAL PAYMENTS: If you want to pay for this item using paypal, send me a PM (private message) with the email address you use for Paypal. Once I have that, I will send you an invoice thru paypal. As soon as the invoice is paid, I will ship the item.

NOTE: I will only ship to “CONFIRMED” paypal accounts within the USA. If your paypal account is not confirmed or the shipping address is not in the USA, I’m sorry, but I will deny the payment. Also, please don’t ask me to ship to another address that’s not your registered and confirmed address with paypal. I won’t do it. I hope you understand.

I have 2 of these. Excellent optics and the thumb trigger makes for super fast winding. A very nice rangefinder.

I have one of these a friend grabbed from a garage sale for me. The lens is a beautiful performer and the ratchet thumb film advance from the bottom is really neat-o.

Someone buy this! It's a very enjoyable camera to use.
