The camera uses the same lens mount (K-mount) as Pentax cameras like the K1000 and ME and it's a good alternative to these better known cameras. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera requires two 357 silver oxide batteries for operation (optional).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe camera and included lens are in very good condition. We tested this camera and lens combo with film and it delivered correctly exposed and sharp images. The only noteworthy flaw is that the viewfinder is somewhat dusty (this doesn't affect photos). We confirmed its shutter speeds to be accurate with a shutter tester. The original ever-ready case is included (in somewhat worn but very usable condition, see photos).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.butkus.org\/chinon\/ricoh\/kr-5\/kr-5.pdf\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.butkus.org\/chinon\/ricoh\/kr-5\/kr-5.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamera Type: 35 mm SLR with metal focal plane shutter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm Format: 24 x 36 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm Size and Capacity: 35 mm perforated film in 12, 20, 24 or 36 exposures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard Lenses: 55 mm RICONAR f\/2.2. 4 groups 4 elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter size: 52 mm screw-in type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens Mount: \"K\" type bayonet with 65° rotating angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter: Vertically moving Copal CCS metal focal plane shutter with speeds from 1\/8 to 1\/500 sec. plus B.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewfinder:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed eye-level pentaprism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure meter needle and Shutter speed needle visible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewing magnification 0.89X (55 mm f\/2.2 lens)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField of view covers 93% of actual picture area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocusing: Diagonal Split-image spot in microprism-image band surrounded by Fresnel field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure Meter: Two CdS photocells TTL full open metering for center-weighted average light reading coupled to shutter speeds, film speeds and f-stops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure Coupling Range: EV 5.3-17 (ASA 100 film with 55 mm f\/2.2 lens)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm Speed Range: ASA 12 - 3200 (DIN 12 - 36)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure Meter Power Supply: Two 1.5V silver-oxide batteries (JIS G13, Mallory MS76 Eveready S76 or equivalent).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlash Synchronization: X Synchronization for electronic flash unit at \"B\" and 1\/8 sec. to 1\/60 sec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlash Contact: \"X\" contact on hot shoe for cordless electronic flash unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm Loading: Multi-slit easy loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm Wind: Single stroke film advance lever with 135° winding angle (40° play)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilm Rewind: Film rewind crank by pressing film rewind button on base of camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExposure Counter: Additive, automatic resetting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther Features:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot shoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShutter release lock (with film advance lever)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeter on\/off switch (with film advance lever)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASA\/DIN dial lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable release socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTripod socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 139.9 (width) x 91.3 (height) x 48.0 (depth) mm (Body only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 540 9 (Body only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ricoh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39417605161046,"sku":"","price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/4401\/3398\/products\/ricoh_xr500_35mm_camera_20210612_724.jpg?v=1623700249","url":"https:\/\/www.newwavepool.ca\/products\/ricoh-xr500-35mm-slr-w-sears-50mm-f1-7-lens","provider":"New Wave Pool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
