Ricohflex Super

[cmo]

A friend of mine is interested in TLRs and would like to know more about this camera. I never heard about that one and pass the question on... any proud Ricohflex Super owners here?

indeed - IF you can get a well working one, it is an amazing tool!

easy to work with and the way it renders the OOF areas are amazing - I lik eit much better than my expensive Rolleiflex 2.8F in that way.....

Search the gallery: there's a lot of images to show what I mean..

But be ware! the camera can have issues... non working shutter, and stuck taking lens (you'll think it is focused, but it isnt...)

I've got two Ricoh Diacords - a G and an L. I've had to repair both. Expect the shutter to be off-speed, and the film advance to be irregular. But I love 'em and I'm glad I spent the time repairing them.
