Ricoh R-1
The Ricoh R-1 is a 35mm compact film camera, introduced in the mid-1990s as a slim, fixed-lens point-and-shoot positioned for travel and everyday use.
Sales data for the R-1 is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from April 2023 closed at £110, so any sense of typical value today rests on that one wholesale saleroom datapoint rather than a developed price curve. As of 2026, what the R-1 sells for in practice will swing widely with cosmetic condition and working shutter, and buyers should treat £110 as indicative rather than a firm market median.

How much does a Ricoh R-1 sell for?

Confirm the LCD is fully readable, the shutter and flash fire reliably, and the body shows no cracks around the sliding lens cover, as repair options are limited.
