Ricoh's early-80s AF compact — 38mm f/2.8 Color Rikenon, zone display in finder, CdS auto exposure, AA power.

The Ricoh AF-5 was an early-1980s 35mm autofocus point-and-shoot with integral flash, Ricoh's rival to the Canon AF35M Sure Shot and Nikon L35AF. A little bulkier than those competitors, it was capable of similar results, and unlike the Canon it showed the selected focus zone in the viewfinder before the shutter was fully pressed. Ricoh also offered auxiliary tele and close-up lenses for it.

The lens is a 38mm f/2.8 Color Rikenon, a Tessar-style design of four elements in three groups with a 46mm filter thread. Autofocus with pre-focus works from 1m to infinity, and exposure is automatic via a CdS cell over EV6-EV17 at ISO 100, with film speed set manually from ISO 25 to 1000. It has easy loading with autowind and motorised rewind, a self-timer, and a built-in flash good for 12m at ISO 100 with a seven-second recharge. Two AA batteries power it; the clip-on lens cap presses a switch that cuts power to prevent accidental firing and battery drain.

The contrasty Rikenon prime is the reason to seek one out: in good light it produces punchy results that stand comparison with the better-known Canon and Nikon compacts, usually at a lower price. The zone-indicating finder gives more focus confidence than most contemporaries, and AA power keeps running costs low. At 330g and 129x79x55mm it is pocketable only in the loosest sense.

Confirm the lens cap power switch works, as a missing cap leaves the release exposed and the cutoff logic unused. Test autowind and motor rewind for smooth running, check flash recharge within roughly seven seconds on fresh AAs, and inspect the CdS cell window and seals. Manual ISO setting means no DX safety net — check the dial moves through its full 25-1000 range.
