Ricoh KR5 35mm SLR + Riconar 55mm 1:2.2 Lens
All in very nice condition.
Apart from self timer lever broken & some very light strap lug marks it is in very good condition.
It could possibly do with a wipe over as it is a little grubby from the old case.
Camera works well. Winds fires meter etc etc all functioning (apart from self timer).
Well made camera with vertically travelling metal shutter. Under rated cameras in my opinion.
Light seals may need attention. 2 sr44 batteries needed.
Weight for postage 800g
Any Questions please ask.

If you cant pay, or dont want the item. Then resist the temptation to Bid!
Its as easy as that!
Look at my Feedback.
I sell a lot of used Cameras,
Some old some not so old.
Lenses are designed for taking Photographs!
Not for shining torches through.
Dont expect to see crystal clear optics if you shine a torch through an old lens!
You will see internal reflections/ghosting etc.
If you want perfection. Buy a new one.....
If you are worried about using scratched or flawed lenses, coating marks, or even ones with fungi read this article on Zeiss Lenses by Henry Scherer
on the Zeiss repair Web page http://www.zeisscamera.com/services_lens.shtml
Interesting!
Fungi needs warm humid conditions to propagate. Keep your kit dry,
Dont store your gear in its mangy old case for extended periods. This is a sure fire way to encourage fungi!
Fungi needs food to grow, this " food" is the old Petroleum based lubricants in old lenses.
Newer lenses use Synthetic lubricants. Fungi does not like this.
See the above web page for a more in depth article on Lens contamination!
I will be away from 2nd May until 16th May.Questions may be answered. But there will be no postage until I return.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks Chris
