The Ricoh is generally a durable camera, not surprised that it works. They are very common and were also sold as Sears TLS and Focal TLR (K-Mart). Others, too. No particular value due to their being common and inexpensive when new. The lenses seem decent, too. The telephoto came from K-Mart and I don't recognize its maker but it should be an ok picture taker. Put some film in it and have fun!

Essentially the same thing I told you when contacted by email. Never hurts to get a second opinion, however.

If you are into this because you want to get rich this is not the hobby that will make you rich. You can buy that camera on-line most of the time for less than 20 bucks, I paid 18 for mine.   |

Not rich by buying old cameras!?!?
I beg to differ. We are rich in being able to have some piece of photographic history...if one can accept that. Affording us hours of enjoyment and wondering what next piece of that history we will run across and be able to add to our collection. Just a thought!!
When people see my collection, they always ask how valuble it is...of course they mean money-wise.

We have people join all the time so they can find out if Gramps old camera is going to make them rich. That's what my reply is about.
