The CR-5 is a 1970s SLR for 35mm film sold by Ricoh, perhaps a name variant of the KR-5. It accepts K-mount lenses. This was a no-frills which limits its slow shutter speeds to 1/8th second, and has a blank cover where other Ricoh SLRs offer a depth-of-field preview button. Its light-metering display is of the analog "match the needle to the lolipop" type. The camera was bundled with Ricoh's lower-priced 50mm f2.2 normal lens.
The film advance lever must be pulled outwards to unlock the shutter and switch on exposure meter, powered by two 1.5v silver-oxide batteries. The vertically-traveling Copal metal shutter allows flash sync at 1/125th sec. The focusing screen has a diagonal split-image spot surrounded by a microprism.
