Ricoh 35FM viewfinder camera (serial 54104788) | film🎞tested

The camera was tested with film and delivered sharp, well-exposed images. The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos). The door light seals are somewhat worn but we tested the camera in very bright sunlight and there were no sign of leakage on the negatives so we opted to leave them in.
