The Caddy is a half-frame 35mm camera made in 1961 by Ricoh.[1] It has a 25mm f/2.8 lens, wider than some half-frame cameras,[2] focusing down to 3.5 feet. It has a selenium meter, with the readout on the top in EV between 5 and 15, transferred to the lens manually. McKeown states that the Seikosha shutter gives speeds 1/25 - 1/250 second,[1] but the controls do not give direct control of either shutter speed or aperture, the EV setting ring presumably varying both. The film advance is a thumb-wheel, positioned for the right thumb, at the bottom of the back plate. The rewind is a wheel set in the top housing. There is also a cold shoe, and a PC socket on the front. The frame counter is set in the sloped right-hand end of the top housing.
