My first developed film taken with my new (old) Ricoh 500GX rangefinder

My new Ricoh 500GX rangefinder…

After some cleaning and inserting a new battery I put a new roll of film into my new little friend and go out into the streets to do some testing. I have taken some photographs in central city of Hamburg. After the roll of film has reached his end I went to the next photo-shop near the central station to let them develop the film for me. The next day I´ve picked the developed film up and put the negatives into my filmscanner at home.

I really like that camera. It´s so easy to use. And the exposure-meter even works with filters, because it is built into the ring that surrounds the lens. The shutter is very quiet and the whole camera works like swiss clock. Remember that this little baby is more than 25 years old!

What a quality! Just look for yourself!
