The list of compatible lenses is interesting. It is disappointing, however, to see that much-favoured Voigtlander lenses like the Nokton 35/1.4, 35/1.2, and Ultron 28/2 will not work with the...

I wholeheartedly agree. The Z750's audio recording function was a godsend on many an occasion. That, along with the compact size, decent image quality and unlimited mpeg4 movie mode, made me keep...

@Daryl Cheshire - we have no such tax on 'video recorders' in Australia, AFAIK. The tax is for the EU, and for a number of years digital cameras bound for non-EU countries had unlimited recording...

Renato, you have the added benefit of a good looking family! Beautiful image. There are gaping photographic holes in my life. I have almost no photos of myself or everyday situations, even of...

Those Depression era photos are amazing, Isabel. Thanks for posting that. But it does make me ask ... "what cameras and lenses were they using???" :D -- Archiver - Loving Every Image Captured...

Sounds like you had a great time, David! I hope you got some equally great photos! I'm in town for the forseeable future. If you want to catch up, PM me or shoot me an email. -- Archiver -...

Crotchety old man voice: "Ha, what's wrong with these tallywhackers with their 'sensors' and 'filters' and 'firmware'? I can get colour or monochrome out of my M3 which I've been shooting for...

If you think the Ricoh forum is slow, you should drop by the Casio forum some time. In about 2005 that forum really flew along with a reasonably sized group of dedicated posters. Guys like Bart...

I have the X10, and while it is fun and very versatile as an all-round camera, I can't give up the aps-c image quality of the GXR. I haven't handled a G1X but the results I've seen are quite...

It's funny that the addition of the M-module has made the travel kit larger, and the choices harder. It means either carrying a third module, or deciding which of the 28 or 50 to leave behind. ...

In a recent event, Ricoh said that a monochrome camera was in the planning stages. It was not clear whether this would be a GRD, GXR module, or otherwise. Some are hoping for a monochrome GRD,...

Leica has already stated their intention to build an interchangeable lens camera with EVF and a sensor that is "at least" aps-c size. At the same time they also stated they are unlikely to develop...

In an episode of The Simpsons, the action star McBane tells The Critic about his new overpriced and mindlessly derivative blockbuster. The Critic says, 'God, how you sleep at night?'

More like packed away in a bank vault, never to be used. That's where the Japanese tend to keep them. Although some LE Leicas find their way into real user's hands, like the surprisingly high...

Ricoh were already talking about a dedicated monochrome camera, although the details of whether it would be GXR or GRD or something else were not talked about. A monochrome 16mp M-module for the...

Yes, I'd probably buy one of those at the right price point, too! :) Mind you, I'd prefer a large sensor camera like a GXR, due to the depth of field flexibility and wider dynamic range. The...

Last weekend I attended a wedding, and my main cameras were the Leica M9 and Ricoh GXR-M. While I changed lenses on the M9 a fair bit, I mainly used the Zeiss Sonnar 50/1.5 on the GXR. The GXR's...

The X100 has the benefit of a hybrid VF that displays shooting data inside an optical viewfinder, with the option of switching to an EVF. Some people like this. I find it quite useful. I haven't...

Just wait, he will start to extol the virtues of the Sony NEX 7 black and white conversions, and rubbish Sigma and now Leica at the same time. -- Archiver - Loving Every Image Captured...

As much as the idea seems cool and the use of technology innovative, I would be hard put to buy a camera that loses the ability to take colour images. The black and whites would need to be gonzo...
