Ricoh manuals may be Nikon F, Pentax/Practica screw, or Pentax K. I have
seen obscene prices for the Nikon F mount Singlex. I have a Ricoh 50mm f/1.4
lens in Nikon F mount, and it does not have any meter coupling. A zillion
companies have used the Pentax/Practica screw mount, and several meter
coupling variations exist with some incompatibilities. The Pentax K is also
found on a bunch of cameras, and a couple of meter coupling variations
exist. Chinon, Ricoh, and Sears are the most common around here.
