Description
Ricoh KR-5 is a fully manual 35mm SLR introduced in 1978, part of Ricoh’s lineup of reliable and affordable K-mount cameras. Paired with the Riconar 55mm f/2.2 lens, this setup offers sharp results with full creative control. It’s an excellent choice for beginners who want to learn the fundamentals of manual shooting or for experienced photographers looking for a no-fuss analog companion.
This copy is in good working condition, with clear optics and functional mechanics. Cosmetically, it shows signs of use — visible wear on the body and a few dust specs inside the viewfinder — but these don’t affect performance or image quality in any way.
With a simple match-needle metering system (powered by two 1.5V silver-oxide batteries), shutter speeds from 1/8 to 1/500s plus Bulb mode, and a satisfying mechanical film advance, the KR-5 offers everything you need to slow down and shoot with intention. Whether you’re into street photography, portraits or still life, this camera keeps things honest and hands-on.
