The Ricoh 6 folder dates from 1952 and features both 6x6cm and 6x4.5cm images on 120 rollfilm. The Ricoh 6 features limited range Riken shutter (1/25th to 1/100th second plus Bulb) with an Orinar 80mm f/3.5 lens. Used prices for this camera run circa $50 and up, depending on condition.


Photo notes:

Here is a Japanese imitation of the Zeiss Ikonta in the form of the Ricoh Six. The 80mm f3.5 Orinar Anastigmat coated lens is in perfect condition. Here is your chance to get into medium format at a bargain price, and at the same time own a collectible camera. It is valued at $100 by ''McKeown's Guide''.
