Description

Singlex TLS (SN: 503095) + Auto Rikenon 55mm f/2.8 (SN: 61211)
A solid M42-mount SLR with a sharp standard lens from Ricoh.

The Singlex TLS is a 35mm SLR camera built by Chinon and branded under several names (including Revue and Ricoh). It features the universal M42 screw mount, allowing compatibility with a wide range of vintage lenses. The camera has a built-in through-the-lens (TTL) light meter, full manual exposure control, and a durable metal body.

This set includes the Auto Rikenon 55mm f/2.8 lens (SN: 61211), a standard prime made by Ricoh. It delivers surprisingly sharp and character-rich results for its class, and is well-suited for portraits, street photography, and general use.
