The Ricoh Infomatic is a light and small 35mm viewfinder camera. It has no parallax like the 500G rangefinder. It does have the Rikenon 40mm f/2.8 lens, which performs very well.

The camera is equipped with a shutter priority or automatic exposure system. The light meter needle in the viewfinder shows most ideal f/stop at chosen shutter speed.

Focussing has to be done by the distance scale on the outer ring.

There's a self timer and a hot shoe for regular flash use.

The Infomatic looks extremely similar to the Ricoh 35 ZF and might be a name variant.
