Hi Steve, I would like to share with you my enthousiasm for the lovely combo I’ve recently purchased, Ricoh GXR mount + Zeiss ZM 35mm f2.

I was looking for a solid small combo with high IQ and a budget suitable for my pocket, a “poor man” M9 alternative, to use were I have no chance to take SLR + lenses with me. I had NEX5 before. Great sensor with his lenses, but I was somehow unsatisfied by the combination with the Biogon: the “Zeiss” look and colours were not as expected and corners were extremely soft.

I’ve found GXR to keep the lens original colour and drawing very well, incredibly sharp edge to edge even wide open. I hope this can be interesting for you. Thank you for your interesting website.

Ricoh GXR A12 Leica M Mount Module – My quick take by Steve Huff Yesterday I posted a review on this Ricoh GXR Leica M Mount module by Ashwin Rao and I have also been shooting with this module so figured I would post some images from it.

Ashwin basically wrote the review so what I am going to do is shoot with it for the next month or so and see how it goes and occasionally post some photos and thoughts about it. You guys know I am a fan of the GXR and 28 and 50mm modules but what about shooting M glass on the GXR with its own customized sensor? When I received the package and attached the module to the GXR I loved the solid feel. That is one thing about the Ricoh cameras…they are made and built TOUGH.

The lack of an AA filter on this module really makes the difference here and I am liking the files from the GXR moreso than the NEX-5n (with Leica glass). The Ricoh GXR A12 “M” Mount Module Review by Ashwin Rao. The Ricoh GXR A12 M-Mount Review – The Digital CL Reborn?

By Ashwin Rao Visit Ashwins blog HERE – His Flickr HERE - Steves GXR Review HERE Hi, friends and fellow photographers, today I am bringing to you my real world perspectives on the new Ricoh GXR A12 M-Mount module.

Calvin Palmer wrote:It seems to me that if you have classic manual lenses, and you clearly do have them Raaj, the GXR A12 Mount is an abolute winner.I think all second-hand Leica, Zeiss and Voigtlander lenses have just seen their value rise by a couple of hundred dollars.

I remember someone posting about 18 months ago on the Micro Four Thirds forum how they had just bought an assortment of six manual lenses -- Minolta and Canon if I recall correctly -- for around $200. I think those days have long gone. Most decent manual lenses will now command a premium on the used market.Those people who had the good sense to keep hold of their old manual lenses will now be grinning from ear to ear, won't you Tom?

-- Calvin Well I am only grinning slightly, got in sort of before the little rush from the M mount module (anticipation is useful), but way behind the M4/3 and NEX stampede.

This new Mount A12 – which is designed to take Leica M–mount lenses – may well be the most interesting and promising development in the Ricoh GXR system to date.
