Product code: Ricoh 500 G hotsell Camera
Very nice Ricoh 500 G 35mm film camera. It needs a battery, so I don't know if the light meter works. If not, these little mechanical rangefinder cameras can be used without a battery, so you can use the "Sunny 16 " rule to set your exposure and shutter speed, or use a light meter app on your cell phone. All apertures and shutter hotsell speeds appear to work perfectly. I have not tested the camera with film. If you're looking at other 500 G cameras, be aware that the light seals on these older cameras almost alway need to be replaced. I have installed brand new light seals on this unit. Check out the reviews on this little beauty on the Casual Photophile and Lomography websites that specialize in 35mm film camera reviews.
