The Ricoh Singlex TLS is a 35mm MMM (metal, mechanical, manual) single lens reflex camera introduced by Ricoh in 1967. In addition to selling this camera under the Ricoh name, it was also rebranded for sale in France as the Interflex 7L5 and in the United States as the Sears TLS plus the K-Mart Focal TLX at their respective discount department stores. The rarest version is all black with white lettering. Solidly built and heavy, over 2lbs, it offers photographers a precision steel platform that takes commonly found M42 screw mount lenses. It offers shutter speeds from B, 1- 1/1000 of a second from the legendary Copal Metal Square shutter and syncs flash at 1/125 second. The exposure metering a CdS with match needle, stop-down metering, and an on-off switch designed to work with a 1.35v mercury cell, which is no longer available or legal, but they now sell a replacement PX625 alkaline 1.35V battery for about $3.00. The camera has ASA settings of 25 to 1600 and a Copal Square metal blade shutter with speeds of 1 second to 1/1000 of a second +B. It also has PC X and M Sync terminals, single action film advance thumb lever, self-timer, frame counter, a fold-down rewind crank handle that is a pull-up release for the film compartment, rewind release button, micro prism, ground glass plus Fresnel focusing screen, Shutter release threaded for cable release, and a ¼” 20 thread tripod mount. The dimensions are 147 x 95 x 50mm and the camera was made in Japan.
