Ricoh MF-1 / 35R Manual

[B-9]

I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the manual for these cameras -prefer English.

Cannot seem to locate one online.

A rare beast. It looks like translating the Japanese version might be the only option.

Yeah it seems to be that way.

I have the 35R coming in silver. I like the look of it in silver over the black.. odd as I usually prefer black cameras. Guess it’s just ugly enough to appeal to me.

It has a sort of steampunk vibe.

I had an Aiborg and the Samsung ECX-1 is better and cooler! and weirder (touches like u need a pin to remove the battery cover - akshully sez that in the manual!). takes great pics tho (and Chestnut Camera in SanFran is selling them NOS!)

Huss, do you know how much? Might have to dabble especially if NOS.

It was marked down to $70 brand spankin new (from $100 on the box). They had a whole
stash of them in July when I bought mine. Had no intention, just happened to be walking by and saw them in the window.
$70 for a new excellent p&s? sold. Claims to be Porsche Design but I think on that day they should have called in sick...

70$ is too high for me.

Honestly did not pay much more for the 35R.

Really wanted to try it, sort of know I’ll like it, but still want a zoom cam with bulb.

They are dirt cheap used.
