Description from the seller
This lot includes a Ricoh Singlex TLS 35mm SLR camera body with M42 screw mount, finished in classic silver and black. The camera has been tested for basic mechanical operation, including shutter firing, self-timer activation, film advance, and exposure meter response.
Cosmetically, the camera remains in very good vintage condition with only light wear from normal use. The viewfinder shows some internal dust and slight haze, and prism corrosion is visible as a horizontal black line in part of the finder image. The mirror and film chamber remain clean overall.
Please note that the light seals and foam materials should be replaced due to age. No actual film test has been performed. A genuine leather case and accessory shoe are included.
An attractive collectible and usable Japanese vintage SLR camera for fans of manual-focus photography and classic M42 mount systems.
