Ricoh TF-900

[Eugen Mezei]

Hello all!

I just got a Ricoh TF-900. It is bifocal 35mm/2.8 and 70mm/5.6. (I'm looking for a compact with typical portrait focal around 70-80 mm but unfortunately this was the most luminous I could get. Would be glad to hear of a compact or a point and shot with 70mm/2.8 or better, maybe 3.5 would do also.)

Unforutnately I can't get a manual for it.
What I want to know is how his DX sensing is working. Only full stops or third stops also?

It has two rows of sensing contacts. One row 4 contacts, the other only 3.
When looking at http://www.imageaircraft.com.au/DXsim/ it seems to have contact on fields 1-4 and 8-10. (Hope I got it right.)

I try to relabel a 200 ASA canister selfloaded with film around 50 ASA film. (Polypan-F)
