Iam looking to buy a flash for ricoh KR super2

Yes. The new digital model cameras will accept the older K-AF lenses.

The rewind button will usually pop out once you turn your film advance lever. In order for you to be completely familiar with your camera, here's a link to a user's guide in pdf format:

Hope this helps.

The KR-5 Super II is totally reliant on batteries in order to function. Use two SR-44 cells fitted with the + side towards the cover. LR-44's also work but will give slightly inaccurate meter readings. If you use slide film then avoid using LR-44's but if you use print film it's not really a problem.

The flash is just any standard, non-dedicated, automatic or manual flashgun. There are millions of them around, perfectly good and unused, so there's no need to pay for one. Just ask on your local FreeCycle or Freegle groups.

Straightforward answer: no. Everything needs power to work except for the self timer, but even that won't fire the shutter without battery power.

It's a 35mm camera, so it uses 35mm film (sometimes referred to as size 135).

hi, i don have the solution, however i also face the same problem.. and worse, i used the lens cleaning solution to wipe it and now its worse.. did you manage to get it off or replace without fully dismantle it ??

prasadsu,

any camera store will have a flash for your KR5. buy a non dedicated type that fits on the hot shoe.
or try ebay for a used one.

Sunil, there's a huge array of flashes that will suit that camera.
What you have is one of the old-faithfuls of the camera world. Not over-the-top glamerous bits, just basic necessary features that work well, and that camera will go for a long long time.
The hotshoe, the 'slide' on the top of the camera that accommodates the flash, is NOT a 'dedicated' shoe which means there is no auto or specific links between the flash and the camera.
You need to talk to someone over the counter because models of flashes are changing every day and I do not keep up to cover them all.
What I would be asking for is firstly, a hotshoe flash, then, an auto flash (this means the flash itself will meter the light output and adjust itself), then you want to buy a flash for its power output (guide number) don't waste your money on useless features for that camera, put the money into to flashes power, higher the guide number the better (GN20 is low, GN30 is good, GN40-45 is very high and likely a huge flash).
So, and auto flash, not dedicated, no fancy features, good GN (high 20s-mid 30s)
Also, don't buy brand names (ricoh, canon, nikon), pointless in this case. Look for generics, Metz, Sun, Sigma etc.

About the only thing you can do is clean the batt. cover and contacts in batt. holder,use a pencil eraser, be careful with the contacts in holder. There are no parts avail. for this model. However this is a rugged camera and you could buy a hand held light meter.

Please go to this link and scroll down to number 6 under the picture of the manual. It says"insert film". Click on that link and follow instructions! Thank you for using Fix Ya!
