The KR-10 Super was introduced by Ricoh in 1983, as a significant revision to the previous KR-10 (without suffix). The changes include expanding the range of slow shutter speeds from 4 to 16 seconds; moving the shutter release to be concentric with the shutter-speed dial; and changing to an electronic self-timer with a front-facing indicator LED. (It shares some of this DNA with the more stripped-down XR 500 Auto.)
It takes 24x36mm images on 135 film and is fully reliant on the batteries to operate. For the rebranded Sears version, the name Ricoh was removed from the front of the camera and this area is blank. It does, however, say Sears on the back of the camera.
The Sears KSX Super is functionally the same camera although with a slightly different grip.
