Ricoh video showing K1 II & DFA 85 images...
5

Unfortunately doesnt seem to have English subtitles available but can fast forward to see individual examples - looks good!

The image at 39.00 is my fav and I think shows lens off at its best.

It seems to render very well.

It also seems he may have stuck to f1.4 as much as possible - not sure about that, but he's utilising out-of-focus rendering to the max.

A bit frustrating that if you don't speak the language some places are just so-so photos unless you know he's saying "and here you can see that ..." other places they're really good photos, and you think "Well great photo but what's it telling me about the the lens".

I don't see anything bad the about lens behaviour from the video: interesting as it is it doesn't tell me where the lens really excels and which aspects are behind the others.  It left me feeling teased rather than informed.

If you access the video via the Ricoh website you can see that the video (and others) were made to screen at the international camera show (I forget which one) but as the show was cancelled they posted links on their website... so they are promo videos not review videos but yes I am sure there would be more insight if I knew Japanese (:
