Thanks Ronald - it is a decent 135mm... should not be expensive, but I do not think is as wide spread as other lenses (to shop around)..

May I ask - can you do a list of the XR set?

I see them for about $30 on E-Bay weekly.

My Rikenon XR set includes the following...…All are near mint.
24mm 2.8
28mm 2.8 … X2
35mm 2.8
45mm 2.8
50mm 2.0
50mm 1.7
50mm 1.4
135mm 2.8......(soon to be added....I just hit Buy-It-Now button)..$25 shipped !
https://www.ebay.com/itm/193036516651

Im quite impressed with all of them. The 24mm is the Least impressive of the bunch , but still very good.
Its nice to see another Ricoh Rikenon fan on here !

Sweet- glad you took the jump, as that is a nice set you have. I actually like the Ricoh lens caps a lot as they really stick to the lens barrel.

My favorite is the 35/2.8 (I have the 35/2.8 | 50/2 | 135/2.8)

You must try the 28mm 2.8 next......its pretty good ! If I could only have one lens in the Rikenon's , it would be the XR 28mm.
