I recently switched to digital medium format and I am selling all my film gears collection, all in top status and working order. RICOH 500 G in working order, lightmeter is working, no light leaks The Ricoh 500 G is a compact 35mm coupled rangefinder camera introduced in 1972. It is highly regarded for its sharp fixed lens and the rare ability to offer both shutter-priority auto exposure and full manual control in a pocket-sized body. Core Technical Specifications According to technical data from Camera-wiki.org and Kamerastore: Lens: Fixed-mount Rikenon 40mm f/2.8 (4 elements in 3 groups). Shutter: Mechanical Copal leaf shutter with speeds of B, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, and 1/500 sec. Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/16. Focusing: Coupled rangefinder with a minimum distance of 0.9m (3 ft) to infinity. ISO/ASA Range: 25 to 800 (some variants may show 64-800). Exposure Meter: Lens-mounted CdS cell; allows for automatic compensation when using filters. Viewfinder: Features a central rangefinder patch, framelines with parallax markings, and an aperture scale with a meter needle. Physical & Operational Details Body Material: Primarily metal (steel) with some plastic trim. Dimensions: Approximately 111 x 71 x 57 mm. Weight: Roughly 425g (0.94 lbs). Flash Support: Equipped with both a hot shoe and a PC sync terminal; the leaf shutter allows flash sync at all speeds. Self-Timer: Mechanical lever with approximately an 8-second delay. Filter Thread: 46 mm. Power & Battery The camera's shutter is fully mechanical and will fire at all speeds without a battery. A battery is only required to power the light meter and the shutter-priority auto mode. Original Battery: 1.35V PX675 mercury cell (now obsolete). Modern Alternatives: 1.4V zinc-air hearing aid batteries (closest voltage) or standard LR44/SR44 1.5V alkaline/silver oxide cells (may require slight exposure compensation). Shipping secured by Bpost.
