History of Riken/Ricoh’s Camera Timeline refer to Here. It been manufactured in year 1956. This year should celebrating it’s 54 yr-old birthday. I will give it birthday present, that I will send it to service, fine-tune the lens, shutter, everything…

Thought of owning a TLR (Twin Lens Reflect) camera since last year, when I come across the Hai Ou (海鷗) brand. Until this Monday, I finally got myself to find one, this Super RicohFlex TLR which still function, and excellent condition. Just need a service for the dust, and some adjustment for the shutter, aperture~

I will keep it well in my collection, and will try to take some photo after servicing it. Stay Tunes~
