A few years ago I purchased a Ricoh XRX-3PF. It is a manual focus camera
that operates on 4 AA batteries (the reason I bought it). If you have a
Ricoh lens, you can shoot on program, shutter. or aperture AE. If you own a
Pentax K lens you can use aperture AE and manual settings. The camera has
DOF and a high shutter speed of 2000 or 4000 (I can't recall the top speed
because I never have use for the max).
Good luck,
Jim A.
