Ricoh KR-30SP Film Camera

This camera is easy to use, even for the novice/beginner camera buff. You have the option of using one of the many programs and their options or going fully manual. Though, it is easier in today's market to simply go the Digital Camera Route, for the one camera enthusiast that simply wants to experiment, this is the camera for you. I purchased my camera after using a Ricoh KR-10 Super for many years, traveling around the world. While that camera is still functional, I have placed it in retirement and picked up this camera off ebay. It is a change and allows me to continue using a film camera as a change of pace as, even, I have also gone the Digital route I still enjoy using a film camera from time to time. For those of you who are learning the ways of the camera, this camera has much to offer, allowing you to experiement at will, while others may, like myself, simply enjoy the break it gives from the Digital world. It also allows me the advantage of multiple lens, that, unless you are willing to spend a goodly amount of money for a Digital Camera, you are not able to experience.Read full review...

My ricoh KR-30SP film Camera

I bought This camera the Ricoh 30-SP two weeks ago and I find it is very easy to use and works wonderfully. This camera can be used in manual mode as well as program mode. The manual is very easy to understand even for the novice photogragher like myself. What I like about this camera is that it has a Shutter speed up to 2000 of a second. It also has a self timer. I especially like the fact that it has a funtion that you can change the ISO for a particular photo. I really can't say anything negative about this camera just yet I might add more later after I have had it a while. I would recommend this camera for someone like myself(a novice photographer).Read full review...

Wonderful camera for people to explore the world of film!

I have been using this camera for a couple years now and absolutely love it! The major issue was the camera seals, after many years they turned to goo and had to be replaced. I found someone here on Ebay that sells the seals and replaced them and since then its been a terrific camera.
My only complaint with the ease of use is that if you aren't careful, you can adjust the EV setting while setting the film speed.
The lenses are easy to find and cheap, if you want to use standard K-mount, to find the specific Ricoh K mount, it takes a little more looking but they are necessary for the full program modes. Be careful with the battery door, since it would be very easy to break if you were ham-handed.
Overall its a wonderful camera and I really recommend it.Read full review...

Good old school 35mm film camera with great conveniences

I like this camera. I have never had a mechanical issue with mine. The different shooting modes are good to have. Especially convenient is the light, activated by a push button, which illuminates the readout in the viewfinder. This has been indispensable during those times I was shooting photos at sundown in the Mojave Desert.Read full review...
