The $25 Ricoh makes an appearance - a photo on Flickriver

            I occasionally trot out an old manual-focus lens for my daily walks –– probably 4-5 times a year. Yesterday, it was a Ricoh/Rikenon 50mm 1.7 lens. I got the lens at a garage sale, pre-Covid, for $25. I think it’s from the late 1970s or early 1980s. With a #Fotodiox adapter, this K-mount lens works on my Fuji cameras. 

Walking through the Gamble Garden in downtown Palo Alto, Calif., I snapped this pic. I think the lens resolves pretty well for $25, though my eyes have a tough time doing the manual focus thing. Regardless, it’s nice to see that spring has sprung.
