Ricoh FF-70 question

[FredtheLlama]

Hi all,

Just a quick question - I recently got my hands on a very nice Ricoh FF-70. Really impressed with the built quality.

My only problem is I can't figure out how to switch the thing off!
The LCD display is preeminently on when it has batteries in it.

Am I being daft, or is the only way to save battery power is to take the bloody things out every time I put it away?!

The latter. Even though, I've had the battery in for at least a year, and it's still showing "Full".

Great camera! I did a little reveiw for my blog not so long ago ... (Actually the ff90, but as far as I can work out they are the same)

pro cameras don't need to take LCD off hehe

that lens is everything I'd want from a pocket 35mm lens, I wonder about people paying big $$ for Yashica T4/5 - someone has got more money than sense.

Lovely output from your camera - what film did you use. I have an FF9 that I have not used for a while - will dust it off this week.

My T4 was £14, this doesn't bode well for my sense levels 😀

Yes I did, and your review was what in convinced me to buy it!

It's good to know that it won't drain the batteries in a fortnight if I leave them in.

I can't wait to see how the first roll turns out.

The problem with the t4/5 is definitely the price ... But pretty much everything else about it is right! I've sent mine traveling around the world, it's only been to 4 people so far, but 1 of them has gone on to buy there own, and another remains tempted... The other two loved it too! It might be expensive, but it really is a great camera!

Thanks! The film was xp2, I shoot a lot of the stuff through these compacts ... Mostly through being lazy 🙂

Yeah mine is in the draw at work, still showing off with that over sized screen!
I'd love to see the results! Will you add a link to some in the comments on the blog?

Yeah no worries, I've got XP2 loaded in it now so fingers crossed it'll turn out alright 🙂
