Here we have a nice condition and fully functional Sears / Ricoh KS Super 35mm film SLR with a very capable and sharp Sears Auto 50mm f/2 fast prime lens.
This camera was also sold under the Ricoh name.
This camera ships with new batteries installed, and is ready to produce another lifetime of fantastic photos.
This camera is an aperture priority auto-exposure camera, meaning that the photographer simply sets the lens aperture, frames, focuses, and shoots. The camera handles the complicated job of selecting a shutter speed and makes a proper exposure every time. The photographer is able to control depth of field in this way.
This is a fantastic and affordable general purpose camera for the enthusiastic or new film shooter. The camera is in very nice condition, with no damage or marring. The viewfinder, film compartment, mirror box, shutter, and battery compartment are all very clean and in great condition. All dials, switches and knobs click and actuate exactly as they should. The light meter works perfectly.
The included lens has a focal length of 50mm. This makes it an ideal setup for many types of general purpose photography, including landscape, snapshots, action, family photos, architectural shooting, and street photography. The aperture ring clicks as it should, and the focus ring spins fluidly. The mount is pristine, and the filter threads are unmarred. The aperture blades are snappy and oil free, and the glass elements are free of any blemishes, balsam separation, cleaning marks, and fungus.
Additionally of note is the fact that this camera uses the popular K-mount lens system, meaning that many lenses from various makers can be natively mounted to the machine. These include offerings from Pentax, who made some of the best lenses of the day.
To put it simply, this is a great camera at an affordable price.
It will be carefully packaged and shipped immediately.
