SphericalAberration

They seem to have gone out of their way not to show any plan views of the lens. At full zoom it looks really long : http://www.ricoh.co.jp/dc/gxr/img/img-main-04.jpg

Not seen it before but there is also now an AC-5 power adapter for the GXR ( useful for time lapse ) http://www.ricoh.co.jp/dc/gxr/option.html But no sign of a new body :-(

With the GXR I find I use the 35mm summilux ASPH 90% of the time. The fast aperture works exceptionally well with the B&W edge contrast focus mode.

I find the GXR body a little bit on the small side when using it with the faster Leica M lenses. If the GXR-II gains a little length to add a tilting LCD and built in EVF, it would not be such a...

Most probably due for an update at Photokina - the M9 will be a 3 year old camera by then - 9/9/9 launch. I would wait and spend any free cash on ordering the lenses you want now : they will...

No problem here : I downloaded the zip on my Mac. Clicked on the zip to decompress it , then copied the file to SD card via a card reader. I never bother to reformat these days. It worked just...

It would be interesting to see the ratio of GXR-M users who did not use rangefinders before purchasing the M mount to those who were die hard rangefinder users. Since the late '90s I've been a...

A bit to the North - Santa Rosa GR-1s, GRD-III, GRD-IV , GXR M Been so busy with work that there's been little time to use them lately :-(

With the GXR's x1.5 crop vignetting of a second filter ring will not be an issue.

If only there was a 40mm GRD - then there would be no contest.

Is it just me or have all the Ricoh threads gone :-( other forums look okay. .... strange they are all back now sysop feel free to delete this post

Honestly, you don't have a hope in hell - not enough demand. If there is going to be another mount module, it's most likely to be a sort of mini Pentax K mount with a restricted functionality...

That was a very low key announcement ! 16Mp 24-85 zoom is good .... now that would work well with the GXR2 body's larger buffer and new high bandwidth video processor.... just wishful...

Are you wearing sunglasses ?

Good point I did not start this with the GRDIII in earnest before I added a GRD IV as a daily carry camera just in case anything happened to the camera sitting outside in all weathers with only...

Anyone else find strange all of Lakers forum posts are about the Olympus scandal and he joined the forum on the 17th October - just after the news broke. I suspect he is Yakuza :| .... or just...

I remember seeing his work a few years ago, then forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder. Many excellent sequences of outstanding quality.

Send #1 back ;-) the color and contrast look nowhere as good as #2. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gOeATpzHo3w/TshqjVDAI8I/AAAAAAAADWM/VxK3pdEqLhI/s700/DSC00021_1_s.jpg I'm guessing Ricoh...

"nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" applies pretty much to this : Unless there is a very specific use case, understanding or economic necessity, play safe and buy from the big...

I've been running 5s ... 20s per frame so there would not be much time to sleep the camera. However if the interval was 30s or so, what you suggested would be a very sensible for them to have -...
