Ricoh's entry-level KR-5 — mechanical manual SLR, Pentax K mount, 1978.

The Ricoh KR-5 is a 35mm film SLR made by Ricoh and released in 1978 using the Pentax K bayonet mount. It was a simple, affordable manual body aimed at students and beginners, taking advantage of the widely available K-mount lens range. It sits at the entry level of Ricoh's SLR line.

It is a single-lens reflex for 35mm film using the Pentax K bayonet mount. The KR-5 uses a mechanical focal-plane shutter and offers manual exposure with through-the-lens metering, typically shown as a match arrangement in the finder. The shutter is mechanically timed and fires without a battery, with the cell powering only the light meter. The controls are kept deliberately basic for straightforward operation.

The KR-5 suits students, beginners and general photographers who want a low-cost, dependable manual SLR with access to K-mount lenses. Its simplicity makes it an easy camera to learn on. Its strengths are the mechanical shutter and lens compatibility; its limits are the basic feature set and lack of automatic exposure.

For used buyers, check the foam light seals and mirror-damper foam, which perish with age. Test the mechanical shutter across its speeds for capping or slow-speed faults, confirm advance and rewind, and check the meter responds to light. The meter uses common small button cells, so verify it reads correctly; the mechanical shutter still fires with a flat battery. K-mount lenses fit directly and are widely available.
