Product Description

The Ricoh KR-5 Super II is a fully manual 35mm SLR with a solid feature set for both newcomers and seasoned film shooters. It uses the K-mount lens system so you can pair it with a wide range of lenses. The shutter is a vertically moving metal focal plane type, offering speeds from bulb (B) to 1/2000 second. Metering is full-aperture TTL with a center-weighted average meter; exposure feedback is given through LED indicators in the viewfinder (“+”, “0”, “–”). The build is rugged yet comfortable, with a quick single-lever film advance, a mechanical self-timer, and a stylish body introduced around the early 1990s.
