Chronology of cameras Ricoh
This camera is virtually identical to the Vest Olympic Vest. This is the version distributed by the parent company Riken.
There is slight differences between the two devices: The appearance of the front ring used to move the optical block out or back, the name embossed in the back cover.
The lens is not longer identified as UKAS but AKK for Asahi Kogaku Kogyo and Olympic replaces Vest Olympic on the front plate, but those details are probably insignificant and I would not be surprised to find a Vest Adler with an UKAS optical or a Vest Olympic plate.
