Ricoh Auto Half E Half-Frame + Auto 35V Bonus Set w/ Case Strap Analogue camera

Ricoh Auto Half E (half-frame) + Bonus Ricoh Auto 35V — Made in Japan

Offered here is a charming double-Ricoh set from Japan’s golden age of compact film cameras: the iconic Ricoh Auto Half E half-frame camera with its period zip case, plus a Ricoh Auto 35V included as a bonus second camera.
NO RESERVE!

1) Main camera: Ricoh Auto Half E (Half-Frame)
Condition
Cosmetics: Overall clean for its age; light signs of use.
Shutter: Fires (accuracy not measured).
Viewfinder: Noticeably hazy/foggy, but an image is still visible.
Lens: Appears clear to the eye (no obvious haze seen).

Included: Zip case with a beautiful red interior lining, strap. Only what is shown in the photos is included.

This is a wonderful collector’s piece—compact, sculptural, and unmistakably “Showa-era Japan”—and also a fun shooter if the selenium meter is still responsive (selenium performance may weaken with age).

2) Bonus camera: Ricoh Auto 35V
Also included is a Ricoh Auto 35V, a fascinating early-1960s compact with Ricoh’s signature trigger-wind design.

Operation: Trigger winding works and the shutter fires; lens appears clear. This camera is included as a bonus item.
