The AF-66 is an autofocus point-and-shoot camera for 35mm film, introduced by Ricoh in 1991. It is also known as the Shotmaster AF-P in the US.
This camera was an upgraded model of the S-30 (also known as the Shotomaster AF) introduced two years earlier in 1989. The primitive fixed-speed mechanical shutter on the S-30 was replaced with a variable-speed programmed electrical shutter, and a self-timer with a LED indicator facility was also incorporated.
There is also a variant model named AF-66S, which was aimed primarily at the Asian market. It looks identical to the AF-66 and they share almost the same specifications, but the AF-66S uses a more traditional lever-type self-timer without LED indicator rather than the push button type on the AF-66.
