Ricoh R1s 35mm Point and Shoot Film Camera

The Ricoh R1s is one of the coolest ultra-compact 35mm point-and-shoot cameras to come out of the 1990s. With its incredibly slim profile, sleek silver finish, and excellent wide-angle optics, the R1s has developed a serious cult following among street photographers and film shooters who want a camera that genuinely disappears into a pocket.

The R1s features a sharp 30mm f/3.5 lens that delivers beautiful results for everyday photography, travel, and candid shooting. It also has a unique panoramic shooting mode that switches to a wider 24mm field of view while masking the film frame for panoramic compositions. It's a wonderfully quirky feature that gives this little camera more personality than your average point-and-shoot.

One of the biggest appeals of the R1s is just how small it is. Even compared to other premium compacts of the era, this thing is remarkably thin. Pair it with a roll of Kodak Gold or Portra and you've got an excellent everyday carry setup that delivers proper 35mm film quality without the bulk.

This particular example is a great opportunity to pick up one of these sought-after Ricoh compacts at a more approachable price, provided you're comfortable with a couple of cosmetic and functional quirks.

Condition: ONE-OFF

This Ricoh R1s is in good overall cosmetic condition with normal signs of use. The camera is functional, including autofocus, shutter, flash, and film transport, but has two issues worth noting.

The top LCD display is not functioning, meaning exposure counter and other information normally shown on the top display cannot be viewed. The camera otherwise operates normally.

There is also a hairline crack in the viewfinder glass. This does not prevent the viewfinder from being used, though the crack may be visible while composing photographs. It does not affect the images captured on film.

Because of these issues, we're listing this camera as a one-off rather than one of our standard condition-rated cameras. It's still a very capable little shooter for someone who doesn't mind a few quirks.

As with our other functional one-off equipment, this camera includes our 90-day warranty.
