The XR-2 is an SLR for 35mm film introduced by Ricoh in 1977. Along with the XR-1, these were Ricoh's first cameras to accept K-mount lenses. The XR-2 was a higher-end model offering aperture-priority autoexposure, with a direct-viewing window showing the lens's aperture setting above the viewfinder image.
To unlock the shutter, the film wind lever must be pulled outwards. The electronically-timed Copal shutter provides a wide range of speeds from 1/1000 second to 4 seconds plus B with flash sync up to 1/125 sec. The shutter is dependent on power from two 1.5v LR44/SR44 batteries, without which only the mechanical speeds of "X" (1/90th second) and B may be used. A half-press on the shutter release is needed to activate the exposure indicator needle in the viewfinder. A rear "ME" switch permits intentional multiple exposures; alongside this is a lever for closing an eyepiece blind.
The 1979 Ricoh XR-2s is essentially the same camera, but with a baseplate able to accept an optional power winder.
