I got the Ricoh KR-10x second hand and like it if I want to travel light or as second film body. They seem to be quite underrated and you can get them cheap. I preferred the ME Super overall because the shutter is more silent and the LED finder reading are better viewable in low light than the needle reading of the Ricoh for me. But the Ricoh has a comfortable meter reading lock button on the left and the exposures on negative film where correct so far. I only use the Ricoh with Pentax lenses and can't comment on the Ricoh lenses, the build quality of the body is good enough. I dislike other newer AF Ricoh bodies, the KR10-x is the best and simplest of for me. With heavy or longer lenses you could miss a winder grip to hold it. I used it with a Metz flash on a grip connected via X-connector last week, the Metz module provides only flash ready light and 1/125 automatic setting. Overall, I can recommend it and as with an older Pentax body, nobody will take you seriously with it :-)
