Vintage Sears Branded Ricoh XR-2 Auto/TLS Camera 50mm f/1.4 Working Light Meter

Late 60s to early 70s rebadged Ricoh Singlex TLS. It was one of Sears' first 35mm SLRs with a built-in TTL light meter. All-mechanical shutter (works without a battery) - 1/1000 to 1 second + Bulb TTL CdS meter. I will include a new WeinCell 1.35v cell. (If you know, you know)-Light meter works! M42 mount. Original fast Sears 50mm f/1.4 lens. This fast 50/1.4 series is usually attributed to Tomioka, later absorbed into Kyocera/Contax. It's the same pedigree as the Ricoh Rikenon 50mm f/1.4 - known as a sleeper lens for being sharp without the collector price.  EE: Means it has the Ricoh EE pin for aperture-priority auto exposure on the KS Auto / Ricoh XR bodies. Green EE on the ring is the auto position.  1:1.4 f=50mm: Very fast for its time - great for low light and shallow depth of field Mirror is clear with no spider-web fungus or heavy haze. Heavy, all-metal. Mechanical shutter The leather case underneath is the original ever-ready case. Fully manual, simple to learn. Made in Japan
