    Overview

    The Ricoh Rikenon P 50mm f/2 is a compact, lightweight lens (around 135g) with a plastic build that some find underwhelming initially, but the aperture ring is praised for its smooth, positive clicks. Optically, it delivers pleasing bokeh and sharpness wide open, though barrel distortion is noted. It is often called a 'poor man's Summicron' for its good image quality at a low price. Best suited for photographers seeking an affordable, portable 50mm with character, especially on mirrorless cameras.
