Ricoh FF3
If the 1970’s were all about fixed lens rangefinders then the early 1980s were all about the 35mm auto-focus point and shoot. When I say 35mm I don’t just mean the film size either it was such a common focal length that it seems every camera maker of the day had one. So please forgive me for finding the Ricoh FF-3 to be just another of the many, such as the Yashica T series or the Nikon L35AF, Pentax PC35AF, Canon AF35M, it seems it was best to make sure that people could tell from the name that it was a 35mm lens and had that new fanged auto-focus thing. If anything the Ricoh is physically slightly wider than some of the other equivalent cameras of the day, but that’s not much of a difference.

For all that it might be pretty generic, you still got some good stuff out of it. It didn’t seem to hold you back much.

Thank you, I like the challenge of using different cameras. I photograph for many reasons and I don’t take all of them too seriously.

Thank you, I remember that I stood behind the tree so I wasn’t in it but you can’t even see the camera either, so it may have been overkill.
