The camera and lenses are of the highest quality and made in Japan, not China.
The camera accepts hundred of different lenses from close-up to super telephoto, though the wo lenses that it comes with will cover most of your photo needs.
I put new batteries in the camera and the shutter and through-the-lens light meter work fine.
The lenses are not scratches and work well also. Included is also 2 unused rolls of Kodak 35mm film!
This is a great outfit for anyone who wants to get into 35mm film photography.
I'm taking offers on this item.
I will pack it well and send it by USPS Priority Mail.
Please look well at the photos as they are part of the description and are of the actual items that you will receive.
No return accepted on this set.
Here is a little background on this camera:
The XR-2 is an SLR for 35mm film introduced by Ricoh in 1977. The XR-2 was a higher-end model offering aperture-priority autoexposure.
To unlock the shutter and meter indicator, the film wind lever must be pulled outwards; the stowed position avoids accidental battery drain. The electronically-timed Copal shutter provides a wide range of speeds from 1/1000 second to 4 seconds plus B with flash sync up to 1/125 sec. The shutter is dependent on power from two 1.5v LR44/SR44 batteries, without which only the mechanical speeds of "X" (1/90th second) and B may be used.
A half-press on the shutter release activates the exposure indicator needle in the viewfinder. Battery power is checked by twisting a collar around the shutter release. The viewfinder meter needle should swing up to the top of the scale (if good, reaching the notch seen at the side). A rear "ME" switch permits intentional multiple exposures; alongside this is a lever for closing an eyepiece blind.
The 1979 Ricoh XR-2s is essentially the same camera, but with a baseplate able to accept an optional power winder. A bit more plastic has been substituted in the film-advance and self timer levers (the latter seems prone to breaking off); and the ME button has gained a lockout switch to avoid unintended double exposures.
Feel free to make a order reasonable offer on this item!
Thanks for looking, Blueberry Donna.
