Ricoh AF-5D 35mm camera

The Ricoh AF-5D is a classic fixed lens point-and-shoot 35mm camera. Quality-wise, it's comparable to its better-known Canon Sure Shot and Nikon One Touch cameras which were its original market competition.

It's overall a very user-friendly camera, but its rewind function is a bit counterintuitive for beginners, here's the description from the manual:

"REWINDING THE FILM
When the end of the film has been reached, an electronic sound will be emitted. Please rewind the film immediately.
1. Push the Film Rewind Release Button on the underside of the camera. (Fig. 23)
2. Push the Film Rewind Switch on the top of the camera in the direction of the arrow. (Fig. 24)
3. As you rewind the film, the Exposure Counter will run backwards. When the "S" appears in the Exposure Counter window, slide the Film Rewind Switch back to its former position. Film rewinding is now completed and
you can unload the film. (Fig. 25) Do not open the back cover until the "S" has appeared in the Exposure Counter window."

Note: The AF-5 and AF-5D are identical cameras except for a date imprinting feature on the 'D' version. We didn't test the date imprinting feature on this camera.

The camera requires 2 x AA batteries (not included). The original leatherette case and lens cap (which attaches to a strap lug) are included. 
 
Condition notes
The camera is in good condition (see photos) with some cosmetic wear from use but is in excellent working order. The camera was tested with film and performed very well both in terms of autofocus and sharpness.
