Today arrived , together with a Rikenon 50mm f:1.7 lens and the original case of the camera and manual.
Seems to be ok. I'll try to test it in the weekend.

Nice one! Hope you enjoy it. Would like to see the results from that lens. I have the 50mm F2 Rikenon which is very sharp, and I use that and my Pentax M 50mm F1.7 as standards on both my Pentax's. Looks like you have a good combination there hope it works well for you!

Nice one! I almost bought the Sears KS-2 which is the same camera... however I currently have a backlog in my camera rotation so I showed some restraint. I really like these Ricoh's from this era, when they went Program they lost compatibility with other K cameras.

(I didn't show constraint in this: after getting the wonderful screw Rikenon 135/2.8 I went ahead and bid/bought it's sister 28/2.8, also screw mount. I'm not counting but that makes 5 28s I now have....)

Thank you. The Sigma SA-1 is made upon the same Ricoh XR-7 like the Sears KS-2 ( http://mattdentonphoto.com/cameras/sears_ks2.html ) : http://kitatoma.pepo.jp/hobby_room/1_camera/SIGMA_sa-1.htm
The Sigma MarkI on M42 ( http://www.kameramuseum.de/1rst/sigma-mark1.html ) is made after a M42 Ricog body (it resemblace the Ricoh Singlex on M42 version http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ricoh/ricoh_singlex_tls/ricoh_singlex_tls.htm )
