It was released in 1994, and the R1S is also released with multi-coating on the lens.


Unusually, it is a camera of the style of shooting with a single lens of 30mm and 24mm being converted, and it gave up the mounting of the zoom lens that was popular at the time, and made it possible to have a very slim design and simple operation. The slim aluminum exterior adds to its value.


The 24mm wide-angle panorama is a feature that is hard to find in a compact camera. In addition, the multi-autofocus helps to accurately focus.


Finally, 35cm macro photography is also a very attractive feature.



There is not much difference in the used price from the r1s, and these days it has become very difficult to obtain.

A casual camera that puts it in your pocket when you go out drinking in the neighborhood.
