This Rikoto Half was produced in 1970. Among them, the luxury version. (The theory that SL of SL is S of Self Timer and L of Sutter Lock is strong)

10 years after the Auto Half series was produced, a camera that has challenged how to install a large-diameter lens. Because the aperture of the shutter of the existing auto harps is small, the objective lens of the lens composition was made larger in order to lower the aperture value, and the rear lens was made smaller in proportion to it. Uniquely, the objective lens rotates and focuses. It became a slightly larger camera for an auto half.
