Vintage Ricoh Autozoom 8mm Film Movie Camera with f/1.8 10-30mm Rikenon Lens

This vintage camera is a Ricoh Autozoom Standard 8mm movie camera, produced in Japan around 1962. It features a Rikenon f/1.8 zoom lens (10-30mm) and a distinctive, integrated pistol-grip handle designed for handheld filming. Popular during the home-movie boom of the 1960s, this model relies on standard 8mm roll film and features electric motor drive rather than a traditional wind-up spring mechanism.
