NEXFULLFRAME

Fullframe GXR would open up the unbelivably great range of M mount lenses to digital photogs that otherwise don't have a spare $7k to spend on a Leica body. That, and as a system camera/digital...

Well in SONY land, the FF NEX doesn't even need rumours. It's a self-fulfilling, self-repairing meme, that strides across the photography landscape. That said it's curious how some elements are...

I think it's pretty cool they even knew about using M mount lenses on mirrorless cams and tried to sell one to you. \If even camera store guys know about adapting M glass, it means it's becoming a...

Short flange distance by itself doesn't really affect anything.  In fact, it maximises freedom for the lens designer as to where to place the exit pupil. One can tuck it up inside the lens barrel...

Legacy and manual lens support is the critical factor for me too. People that buy Speedboosters or Contax G AF adaptors, or Leica and other legacy lens owners who can't afford Leica's $7k entry...

I use to use it, sometimes when shooting jpeg when dealing with high contrast conditions. But after converting to RAW everything gets done in post - eg. lifting shadow detail and lowering highlights.

Agreed. The RX1 shows what's possible in terms of small. An updated mirrorless fullframe GXR that was more compact than the M9 or M240 would be very attractive to M shooters even in-spite of the...

The technology in the GXR is now well past being competitive. 12Mp sensor with 920,000 dot EVF. While the upcoming NEX 7n is 24Mp, and a rumored 3.8 million dot EVF. I don't know how ISO and DR...

It shows that consumers like their mirrorless cameras to be compact.

Agreed. The rangefinder experience is all about the excellent lenses, tactile handling, and covert and non-intrusive shooting capability in social and street situations. The rangefinder mechanism...

The Zeiss Ikon has been discontinued. Either because it can't compete against Leica digital offerings, or in anticipation of a new digital...

I just now realized I failed to understand your point. Yes, the hybrid VF meaning the combination OVF and EVF seems silly and over-engineered. Not to mention that the OVF functionality and framing...

What's intriguing is that there is a market for new M lenses. Voigtlander, Zeiss and Leica (maybe SLR magic) all sell them. But only Leica makes new digital M bodies and Leica's pricing and...

I think the hybrid focusing system has to be tried in practice before anyone can make a judgement. One could presume that Fuji are at least not overtly hostile to the idea of people using MF lenses...

There's still a IR and UV sandwich and probably protective glass in front of the sensor to protect it.

The trend to remove AA filters is a really good one for stills cameras imho. Leica and Ricoh have done it, Pentax with the K5ii, and now Nikon with it's premium crop. Increasing resolution such...

Points in favor in manual and vintage glass,* Good manual focus implementations really help. Especially on wide angle lenses when I want both subject and background in focus which AF doesn't...

No need to be unethical. A small squeeze would suffice. Who knows. Perhaps they keep abreast of Ricoh news by following this forum? I fear that something obvious may have been lost in this story....

She's rather attractive.

SONY should just release a NEX 7 like camera that has a fullframe sensor that performs well out to the corners. All the guys in alt-lens forums would instantly buy it. As would rangefinder guys who...
