About

Ricoh's success with its cost-reduced, beginner-friendly KR-5 (no suffix) from 1978 led to successor "5" models including the CR-5 and KR-5 Super. All are SLRs for 35mm film and accepting K-mount lenses. The KR-5 Super II introduced in 1993, is smaller and feels more light and plasticky than its predecessors, and its pentaprism features Ricoh's redesigned "outline" logotype.[1] The body styling somewhat evokes Ricoh's electronic flagship XR-X; but close examination reveals this budget model
