AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ricoh Auto Half half-frame camera, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Ricoh Auto Half (1960s) is one of the most charming cameras of its era: a tiny half-frame camera with a clockwork spring-wind film advance, so you can shoot a whole sequence without ever touching a lever. Its selenium meter sets exposure automatically and needs no battery, and the decorative front plates have made it a design icon. A 36-exposure roll yields around 72 pictures.
