Leica Lens on your Ricoh? Yup. GXR A12 Leica M-mount




Want to use your Ricoh GXR camera with some classic Leica lenses? or maybe some incredible voigtlander, Bessa or Carl Zeiss glass you’ve got laying around? Richoh think you might want to do that too… so they built this thing! Totally. Freaking. SWEET! The Ricoh GXR A12 Leica M-mount Also featured are a bunch of other prototypes and “maybe” units to show off the real cleverness of what I once thought was a camera system that was all kinds of HUH-WHAT-WHY? … I was stupid and wrong, this is a very clever design. You can check out more about the, frankly, kinda weird RICOH GXR here; www.ricoh.com The Ricoh GXR is a compact digital camera but unlike conventional cameras which either have a fixed lens and sensor or interchangeable lens and a fixed sensor, the GXR takes interchangeable units, each housing a lens, sensor and image processing engine. This allows each unit to have these features optimised to one another and a specific task, where as with conventional interchangeable lens cameras each different lens must use the same sensor and engine. The sealed units also prevent dust from reaching the sensor which can be a problem with other cameras where the sensor is exposed whilst a lens is being changed. A significant disadvantage of this system is the extra cost involved in having to buy a whole new sensor with every new lens. The body holds a built in pop-up flash as well as a hot shoe on top for an external flash unit. Alternatively Ricoh’s ‘VF-2′, an external

    This is so much better than the Leica M9. paying for image quality and not a massively over-engineered body, an obsolete sensor and a very expensive red badge. It may be APS-C, but it will blow the Leica FX sensor out of the water. Oh yes, and once put your M9 on eBay, you can still use your Leica lenses on your Fuji X-Pro 1.

    Quote from: J_Warden on July 01, 2011, 11:31:29 AM Quote from: calbisu on July 01, 2011, 09:18:51 AM Jeff, I have been looking lately at the Zeiss Ikon ZM, looks like a fantastic camera; guess similar to the ZI? Shots with the biogon just looks fantastic. Actually the camera is a ZI (and I believe has not changed since it’s introduction), and the lenses are ZM (for M mount). It’s a satisfying camera to use, with a wonderful viewfinder. The nits that people usually pick are about the volume of the shutter and the camera’s reliance on a battery to function. The lenses are very good I think. Carlos, Jeff, I have been using a ZI (“Zeiss Ikon ZM” is or was an internet non-official name but I think that even Zeiss is using that one now) for more than half a year and I’d say that my complaints are: – Sometimes you can’t see the focusing patch. I guess it’s hard to explain but sometimes you lose the patch for a few seconds if your eye is not centered on the rangefinder patch. It’s more…
