Ricoh XR-2

The Ricoh XR-2 represents a typical entry-level 35mm SLR camera produced by Ricoh during the late 1970s or early 1980s. Designed as an affordable option for photography enthusiasts, it offered standard manual controls, including aperture priority auto-exposure, a built-in light meter, and interchangeable Ricoh K-mount lenses. Like many budget SLRs of its era, it prioritized functionality and ease of use over advanced features or exceptional build quality, serving as a practical tool for casual photographers and students entering the single-lens reflex world.
