Chronology of cameras Ricoh 

The later AF series could probably be described as the intermediate range of Ricoh compacts; between the XF and the FF series.   

The precise date of release of this camera is not known, but it was probably soon after the release of the AF-50 in June 1985. The first AF's looked much like the cameras of the previous two decades, (except for the all plastic body), but with the AF-50 the series was redesigned into a smaller angular box shape with auto focus, DX decoding, a flip up flash, and a 3,5/35 mm 'Rikenon' lens, instead of the earlier 2,8/38 mm. The corners were rounded off in subsequent models of the series. 

The AF-60D is the date imprinting model of the AF-60. It has a replacement back door which contains the battery (CR1205), and the electronics for the recording of the time and date on the film.
