They do very nicely.

Those are a tribute to the designer of the Ricohflex. Superb images.

Thank you, Graham.

One of my smaller cameras, the Rollei 35 S is a pocketful of fun.

The flash mounts on the bottom, but it's easy to just flip the camera.

I tried to get the flash bracket, but they are kind of rare and pricey.

Congrats! Nice outfit!

I got again a Perkeo II with case and separately the rangefinder (which is not good at infinity but fine in close focus), I had the hood from my previous camera but in silver. Still I need to do a test roll.
Did you know there is small tab inside the lens door? You can extended and it will become the leg stand for the door, something similar to Agfa Record II, pretty handy

Terrific

AGFA Ambi Silette outfit
Nice 35mm RF camera, with 50,35,90mm lenses

A great looking outfit, Pablo. I hope it's in proper working order for you.

Thanks, Alex. Yeah, I do remember that foot. Haven't used the Perkeo for quite a while. I've got the 35mm Vito model too, and they make a great pair, but I have to do a shutter clean on the Vito.

The vito is fun, and the Prontor is easy to clean

Yes, the Ambi is working OK only 1 is a bit slow internittently but all the other speeds are fine and the RF is accurate
I took a roll walking around yesterday and the ergonomics are very nice
It is a pity that it lasted suhc a short time and that there are only 4 lenses for it.
I understand all the shortcomings of having a leaf shutter behind the lens, but it handles way better than the Contax/Kiev

oh yes, and the Ambi also has a "foot" for table top use
