ricoh r1
« on: November 26, 2011, 08:57:05 AM »
Two weeks ago I bought Ricoh R1 as faulty. It didn't work i went to Wokesong camera market here in Beijing and they repair for me.Summary I paid 15 pounds. Lcd and viewfinder not working properly , I cannot see frame numbers and focus in viewfinder.

First thing which I done was modify panorama mode, all picture taken with f8 lens.
I use lucky 100 film  ( which terrible ) in hc-110. 13 min 1:63 20 C

leon taylor : checking Your review was first thing which i had when bought this baby:). I need to say it was very helpful to understand how this working and also give me idea how to modify panorama.
Thanks for review.
How I wrote i have no information about focus in viewfinder and really but may change modes , infinity focus , spot focus and normal. I also can change flash but I am only seeing Eye symbol.

I need to say that I really like this camera just snap a picture.
I have one question all my pictures come out quite soft and I don't know is because lens or just lucky film and hc-110 combo?

It's probably the lens... don't forget that by removing the panorama mask, you're pushing the optical quality way beyond what was intended in the first place.

I think it must be this particular lens ... or a scanning issue? My modified R1 shots are nice and sharp:

Skorj : thanks :)

Francois , leon taylor : I am scanning with my camera as always and each picture is on f 22 but  film isn't that flat as 120 film so it may be the reason.

Leon great pictures and yeh your lens is nice sharp :)
