Introductory Paragraph The Ricoh A-2 is the definitive choice for the enthusiast who values the tactile precision of a rangefinder without the bulk of a full-sized SLR. This specific unit is a standout because it features the 35mm Rikenon lens, which offers a slightly wider field of view than standard lenses, making it perfect for capturing expansive scenes or tight urban environments. The Ricoh optics are famous for their high contrast and vintage character, ensuring that your 35mm negatives have a professional and timeless quality. Because it is a purely mechanical instrument, it serves as an incredibly reliable tool for photographers who want to master manual exposure settings in a discreet, silent-operating body. Whether you are documenting your daily commute or exploring the fundamentals of analog composition, this A-2provides the optical brilliance and mechanical character that made Ricoh a staple of the rangefinder era.
Condition Report Good condition. The Ricoh camera body (S/N: 51118558) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The Rikenon 35mm lens is optically clear; free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The rangefinder patch is visible and aligns correctly, and the mechanical shutter fires accurately across the speed range. The film advance and rewinding mechanisms have been tested and are fully functional.
Specialist Note "The Ricoh A-2 is a hidden gem for street photographers. What I love about this model is the leaf shutter; it's so quiet that you can take photos in complete silence, which is a massive advantage for candid work. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that feels incredibly solid in the hand. The 35mm focal length is the 'sweet spot' for storytellers. For anyone looking for a reliable, mechanical rangefinder that is built to last, the A-2 is a top-tier choice."
