This page consists of resized images so that you can evaluate the overall exposure.





The wide end of the R5’s zoom range is equivalent to 28mm, wider than most other compact zooms.




The 200mm-equivalent telephoto end is also far above average, great for picking out details in a scene




With the focus set on infinity, and the camera on a tripod, the 200mm lens can pick up detail on some very distant objects.




Even large areas of bright colour don’t confuse either the light meter or the auto white balance.




The extremely versatile Ricoh lens produces surprisingly little spherical distortion at its wide angle end.




The R5 has a remarkable macro mode, producing excellent close-up images at a range of just 1cm.
