Chronology of cameras Ricoh
This model is a slight evolution of the Ricohflex IIIB.
The focusing hood has now a large magnifying glass and the chrome façade's of the Ricohflex III becomes matte.
Adoption of a dual action lever that allows for cocking shutter pulling it up and then trigger by pressing it down.
Japanese unfamiliar with Roman numbers have made a small mistake on the front that will soon be corrected.
