The Ricoh EFS looks like a rangefinder but is in fact a zone focus camera which is too bad but this allowed it to be very inexpensive back in the early 1980’s which doesn’t matter now as time has been a great equalizer for film cameras. Another way they kept the cost down was that it only has one fixed shutter speed of 1\/125 second.\u00a0 The aperture varies from f2.8 to f22 and anything outside of that will result in under or over exposure.\u00a0 All that aside it’s a fun camera for what it is and easy to use.\u00a0 The lens is 4 elements in three groups and every once and awhile conditions conspire to create a sharp image but mostly the zone focus just gets you in the ball park.
