Want to Buy WTB: Rollei prego micron

[Per Bjesse]

I am interested in a pocket point and shoot with a flash and wide lens, and this seems like a nice little camera. Let me know if you have one you are willing to part with. (Note: I am only interested in the wide 24/30 prego, and I am looking for a fully functioning camera with clear glass.)

I would skip these cameras.

I’ve spent a small fortune attempting to repair a few Ricoh R1s (Rollei rebadged the R1 into the Prego)

Multiple pieces of these cameras are prone to sudden failure. I wouldn’t spend the 150-200$ these go for without realizing its going to be a paper weight sooner than later.

Yeah I hear you. I just want a moderately wide walking around camera that fits in my pocket with a small flash. All my photography is medium format but I'd love something small with a high quality lens for when I come across something random. Maybe there isnt a viable option anymore. Sigh.

Maybe a GRD? Or Ricoh MF-1

I have a Rollei Prego Micron but it is in pieces....

I have a Nikon AF 600/Lite Touch AF if you are interested. It is a nifty little camera.

Patrick send me your parts! Lol I need a lens motor assembly. The three I have are junk.

I think that is what is broken on mine. The gears don't move at all IIRC. Frozen solid. Sounds like a common thing.

I have purchased a couple Rollei Prego 90 point and shoot cameras on eBay over the years. These have a Schneider 28-90mm lens, auto focus and auto flash. I have paid around $20. each for these plus shipping, but it was a few years ago. I found them good performers and great for party or street photography.

Hello, if you're still interested. I have a rare Ricoh R10. It was the last model film compact camera that Ricoh produced. Has a 30mm 3.5 lens. Very compact and thin. Very similar to the Ricoh GR1 series. I've had them all. Ricoh GR1/S/V and aside from the slightly wider and one stop faster lens of the GR1 series, The R10 was my favorite. It was quieter than the GR1 cameras. And just as fast in operation minus the manual overrides which I could do without. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the prints of the R10 and GR1's. It's (R10) lens was that good. I think this may be what you're looking for. What is your budget?. Also I currently have an XA3 with A16 flash up FS in the classifieds you should check it out. https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/olympus-xa3-a16-flash-mint-125-shipped.168574/
Hope this helps.
