It features features a 35 mm f3.5 (4 elements\/3 groups) and a 70 mm f6.6 (8 elements\/6 groups) as its lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe major camera companies like Olympus, Nikon, and of course Ricoh, produced excellent dual lens models in the late 1980s and early 1990s before zoom lens point-and-shoots came to dominate the market. It's a shame they didn't catch on because dual lens designs like this camera generally produce sharper photos than zoom cameras of the same class. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera requires a 6v CR-P2 lithium battery (available as an option). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camera with film and it delivered sharp, correctly exposed images at both focal lengths. The camera's aesthetic condition is very good as well (see photos) with the exception of a some LCD bleed on the display (visible in the photo that shows the top of the camera); this doesn't obscure any of the modes in the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExample photos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can see a few photos taken with this model of camera here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/ricoh%20rt-550\/\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/ricoh%20rt-550\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/ricoh%20rt-550\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.butkus.org\/chinon\/ricoh\/ricoh_rt-550\/ricoh_rt-550.pdf\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.butkus.org\/chinon\/ricoh\/ricoh_rt-550\/ricoh_rt-550.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 35 mm wide-angle\/telephoto switchable lens shutter type with automatic focus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: 35 mm f3.5, 4 elements\/3 groups. 70 mm f6.6, 8 elements\/6 groups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocusing: Automatic focusing with pre-focus facility Distance measuring (shooting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange: 0.9 m - infinity.
