Ricoh Singlex TLS 401
The Ricoh Singlex TLS 401 is a 35mm film SLR from the early 1970s, notable for offering selectable spot and average through-the-lens metering modes in a single body. It was positioned as a mid-range enthusiast SLR when new.
Sales data for the Singlex TLS 401 is thin: a single UK auction record from January 2024 shows a hammer price of £44 at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). With only one data point available in 2026, that figure is best treated as indicative rather than a reliable guide to what this camera is worth or sells for today.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Ricoh Singlex TLS 401 worth?
The only verified UK auction result on file is £44 hammer from January 2024, so its current value is best estimated in the low tens of pounds, though limited data makes any firm price difficult to quote.
How much does a Ricoh Singlex TLS 401 sell for at auction?
With just one recorded sale at £44, the available evidence points to a low price point, but a wider sample would be needed to establish a reliable range.
Is the Ricoh Singlex TLS 401 a collectible camera?
It is an uncommon model with a dual-mode meter that may interest collectors of 1970s Japanese SLRs, but the thin sales record suggests modest rather than strong demand.
