The Ricoh AF-40 is a film camera that is no longer manufactured. Although it is not an SLR camera, the Rioch AF-40 can be adjusted to successfully use a variety of film speeds. It runs on AA alkaline batteries.
Lens
The Ricoh AF-40 has a 38mm F2.8 lens, with a filter diameter of 46mm. The low aperture allows for low-light photography with high-speed film (ISO 800) without graininess or blurring and without the need for a flash.
Film
The Ricoh AF-40 can take film from ISO 100 to ISO 1000 for high-speed photography. The film-speed selector on top of the camera needs to be adjusted according to the type of film being used; this is not an automatic function. The camera has an auto-loading system for film.
Flash
The built-in flash can be enabled and disabled by turning the flash unit switch on top of the camera. There is a seven-second delay between flashes.
Battery Life
With two new batteries, the Ricoh AF-40 can take up to 70 rolls of film (36 exposures without flash) and up to seven rolls of 36-exposure film with continuous flash usage.
