The Ricoh AF-5 is a point and shoot compact camera for 35mm film with integral flash and autofocus, manufactured by Ricoh. It's a little bulkier than its rivals from Canon (Sure Shot/AF35M) and Nikon (L35AF), but is capable of similar results. Unlike the Canon, the AF-5 indicates the focusing zone in the viewfinder before the shutter is fully depressed. The lens produces particularly contrasty photos in good light.
A set of auxiliary lenses for tele and close-ups was also offered.
