I thought I saw some a PDML member in the bidding, so I decided not to open
my big mouth on the list until after the auction was closed, though I was
planning to throw in a lowball bid but never ended up doing so. Glad you
like the lenses, and the camera too. Some of those Ricoh bodies are pretty
nice cameras, I have always wondered how popular they'd be with us if they
said PENTAX on the name plate...

If it helps, the K24 f2.8 has gone to a good home :-)
The real surprise in this package was the Ricoh XR-2. This is a solid, all
metal camera, has aperture priority AND a match needle (so you can see
those fractions of a stop readings), DOF preview, mirror pre-fire via the
self timer, unlimited multiple exposures via the ME button, top flash synch
of 125, a PC socket (missing on mine but in the spec), a finder window to
show aperture setting (like the LX and MX) and even a nifty little shutter
that flips down covering the eyepiece. It has limits - no TTL flash, top
shutter speed of 1/1000, and the annoying Ricoh feature of having to have
the film advance lever half cocked to activate the meter. But still, I
scrubbed it up, put black tape over the hole where the PC cable should be,
tested the meter (which is accurate) and, assuming the test roll comes back
OK, this is my new keep-in-the-car camera. Sort of an LX-Lite...
