The L-20 is a point-and-shoot camera for 35mm film, introduced by Japanese manufacturer Ricoh in 1989. This camera was originally designed to meet the demands from the market in developing countries. A relatively bulky body size for a fixed-focal lens compact, the use of AA-type battery instead of Lithium type, manual film speed rating, these were for that reason. Although its lens is a fixed-focus type, it has a infinity setting facility and can focus on a distant subject by sliding the tiny lever located beneath the lens. A model with a date back was also available and it was sold as the L-20 Date.
Successor Model: Ricoh LX-22 (updated model with the addition of a self-timer)
