Ricoh introduced the rangefinder Ricoh 300 in 1959[1] as a more budget-priced alternatives to models like its premium Five One Nine. It omits Ricoh's distinctive baseplate trigger-wind in favor of a more conventional thumb lever, and has more limited shutter speeds of 1/10 to 1/300 sec. The 4.5cm lens is an f/2.8 Riken-Ricoh.
