Hi,
Please pardon if the Ricoh XR-2000 camera is beyond the scope of this forum ( camera is not classic enough and this question is not about maintenance or repair).
I was looking for an economical Pentax-K body like the Ricoh XR-7, and the Ricoh XR-2000 seems very similar to that one.
Can anyone provide any information on the XR-2000 ? Google doesn't help, and www.butkus.org doesn't have it.
Thanks,
Anirban |

Don't know that particular model. Ricoh used to make some good quality manual focus SLRs back in the day. Not the equal of say a Nikon FE-2, but then, not bad, either. At one time their SLR cameras had a reputation for needing fewer repairs than similar bodies from Canon, Minolta, Contax or Pentax. They are a popular choice for K-mount lenses. Some folks claim that Ricoh's earlier (1978-87) SLRs were better built than what came later. |
