Richard, this is not quite their first large sensor model, in more than one was the GXR with A12 28mm and GXr A12 50mm were large sensor fixed, prime-lens cameras quite a while ago.
Most people...

Not sure if this is what you are after but I have posted something about the Ricoh factory on my blog quite a while ago: http://ricoh-gr-diary.blogspot.co.uk/2008/12/factory.html

The difference between an APS sensor and the 1" sensor in the RX100 is more than the lens speed, the dynamic range alone is very different as will be the high ISO. Both have their place and surely...

Here some pictures with the Heliar 15mm, you can see more here: http://ricoh-gr-diary.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Voigtlander%20Heliar%2015mm And here from the Heliar 12mm, more to see...

I have only one quote for you from Ricoh when developing the GR line (http://www.ricoh.com/r_dc/gr/gr_digital/story/03.html): "Additionally, we also wanted to make a camera that brought a smile to...

I am sorry, there was a point to your post?!? I must have missed it. ;) And I fail to see any personal attacks but maybe you just quoted the wrong post. To answer your point (if you actually have...

This is probably what most think about your posts going on and on and on about "Ricoh is dead", "The GXR is dead" and I am sure you'll come up with something else soon. I don't care and find it...

While I agree with you that traditional external controls like these tend to get you involved in the process, they also have a major flaw as that you always need two hands to control the camera and...

I use too many lenses to show here but one of the nicest lenses to use on the GXR is the Voigtlander Heliar 15mm f4.5 L: Other lenses I use are the Ricoh GR 28mm f2.8 L, Voigtlander Nokton 35mm...

*sigh* Here we go again, now that the "Ricoh is dead" does not hold anymore due to the GR announcement you have to find something else. You know, you could just take the Ricoh RR series and...

Personally I would rather go for the P10 module, you can read my full review and reasoning here: http://ricoh-gr-diary.blogspot.com/2012/05/ricoh-gxr-a16-s10-and-p10-zoom-review.html Overall I...

Guess this might stop the 'Ricoh is dead' posts but I am not quite convinced about the new GR, it looks like what the GRD III or latest IV should have been but this is too late after Nikon already...

Do you have a sample picture or RAW file that shows the problem? I use RAW Therapee, too, and it produces very good results even at high ISO with the Ricoh DNG. Like you, I find the Ricoh JPGs to...

I think my vote would also go for the Rokkor but maybe this could be a good alternative and something more unusual, the MS Optical Sonnetar 50mm...

Multam!

Tom, I saw your posts about these lenses and thought a post to show some pictures taken with them might be good and help illustrate that these lenses are much more capable than their reputation...

LR has quite a few problems with the GXR files, it also produces jaggies in very fine detail scenes with tree branches, hair and so on.I would recommend you try RAW Therapee, it works much better...

The lenses are not always the sharpest wide open but certainly not worse than any Leica or Zeiss lens from that time and are very sharp and contrasty stopped down a bit.

I have wrote a comparison about the GXR zoom modules here:http://ricoh-gr-diary.blogspot.com/2012/05/ricoh-gxr-a16-s10-and-p10-zoom-review.htmlAs the others have said, if you already have the P10 I...

The bokeh of all the Russian lenses is quite nice, nothing special done from my end and a simple RAW conversion with RAW Therapee for all the pictures.It's not always easy to fin the L/M39 mount...
