Specialist Note "The KR-10 is often called the 'sleeper' of the K-mount world. What I love about this model is the 'L' version of the 50mm Rikenon lens; it’s incredibly sharp even wide open and is one of the lightest standard primes you can find. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that provides the exact same lens mount as a Pentax K1000 but adds the convenience of an automatic mode. The needle meter in the viewfinder is wonderfully nostalgic and very easy to read. For anyone looking for a dependable, high-quality SLR that punches well above its weight, this Ricoh is a top-tier choice."
