US retailer Sears offered this basic 35mm SLR using K mount lenses, a rebadged version of the Ricoh KR-5 Super. Where one might expect Sears branding on the front of the pentaprism, there is a blank plate; Sears labels appear only on the bundled lens and discreetly on the top left rear of the camera.
The camera has open-aperture TTL light metering, and the viewfinder includes a match-the-needle-to-the-lolipop style of meter readout. The viewfinder offers a split image focusing aid at a 45° angle, surrounded by a microprism ring. One economizing feature of this camera is that slow shutter speeds are limited to 1/8 second (and B).
