Info on Ricoh KR-10M

A friend of mine is selling her Ricoh KR-10M which she asked me to

make a offer for, now can someone tell me what theres cameras are

like pros+cons, how much would one be worth, how old is it, parts

avaialable e.g. lenses, flashes?

Checking prices of completed auctions on Ebay, you could expect it to sell for anything between $50 and $150, depending on what lens goes with it. Body only about $30-40, and a 50mm f/2 for $10-20 more.

It uses Pentax K mount lenses, but can do a little more with Ricoh KR mount lenses. It's an update of the Ricoh KR-10, which was a mostly mechanical camera with an electronically controlled shutter. The KR-10M has more electronics and a built in motor winder. That makes for a nicer camera to use, but it will be considerably more difficult to repair in the future. Not that that matters with a $40 camera body. Any repairs needed would not be worth doing.

I don't know how old it is, but with Ricoh out of the SLR business, I would imagine parts will not be available for long, if they are now.

I have owned several Ricoh SLR cameras & find them very serviceable, but not as good as the equivalent Pentax. But the Pentax has held it's resale value better, so you'd have to pay more for one.
