    Overview

    The Ricoh Rikenon P 50mm f/1.7 is a plastic-bodied lens with a metal mount, known for sharpness even wide open at f/1.7. It has a 52mm filter thread and a minimum focus of 60cm. A notable weakness is the 'dreaded pin' that can lock on some Pentax bodies, requiring removal. It suits budget-conscious photographers seeking a fast 50mm, especially those using Ricoh or modified Pentax/Canon bodies.
