so, if an actual 50 is 75, then an actual 35 will be 52.5mm, and an actual 28mm will be 42mm. ok, thanks a bunch. i ponder frequently the possibility/probability of a digital cam with manual focus 50mm equivalent for reasonable cost, using lenses i have. does the gxr have a nikon f-mount module?

you can probably buy a nikon f>m mount adapter for the gxr on ebay. popflash photo in california, and on the web, will 'lend' out the gxr for cost of shipping for 7 days. i took advantage of this and was very happy with the results paul. you can see some of my results from different lenses on MF Forum, i think the thread was 'ricoh gxr at the races'.

Leica M9 with 35mm Summicron ASPH, 1/750 s, exposure bias -1/3EV:
GXR-M with 50mm Summicron, 1/800 s, no exposure bias:
I was not out to do an A/B, just on a maiden voyage with the GXR as second body.
Both images are cropped (further complicating the comparison), but I am happy with the GXR as a second body.
Both images are DNGs.

Paul (late reply - maybe you've found these) there are Nikon F (and Canon and ...) adapters to M mount.
Rayqual (See Camera Quest)
http://www.cameraquest.com/adpSLRRF.htm
Check also eBay, usually you can find something quite inexpensively although fit may not be to your liking but 10 - 40 bucks if you are just kicking tires might feel better. |

Are comparisons with pictures useful?
Both pictures are very good. The skin tone for instance.
The colors of the Ricoh are somewhat more pale.
I assume, that the camera software manipulates the colors by CLUTs (= color lookup table) in DNG too. They have to, to fit the colors into the chosen color scheme.

Hi, Jan.
I'm not sure these comparisons are very useful, no. For instance, I remembered tardily that the M9 picture has a -1/3EV exposure bias; that probably accounts for the richer blue. (I edited the post to reflect this.)
One thing that is interesting: the M9 picture (with the 35) is cropped about 2X compared with a very minor crop of the GXR. Even so, you can see in details like nailheads that the resolution of the M9 image is higher. Some of that could be the lens difference, but some is probably the higher performance of the M9 sensor...?
If the opportunity presents itself, I'll post comparisons taken with the same lens.
In any case, I agree with you that the quality of both pictures is good. Basically I think the GXR is a good buy. It's much less than the price of an M8 and, for what it's worth, it has video and telephoto capabilities.

Hi, Tony.
I often have the M9 set to -1/3EV or -2/3EV; that's probably why the blues are so intense.

thanks tom, but the way i'm seeing it, its also the reds and the warm skin tones on the m9 that seem 'too much' for me, or on my monitor. obviously the m9 is an amazing camera, and its not my intent to disrespect it, but i am much more into the color repro of the gxr in this set at least.

So, I have taken a lot of pics this week.
The GXR-M plus the Nokton 35mm f1.2 is a dream team!
Very good sharpness at f1.2, better on every f stop.
f1.2
f1.4
f1.8
f2
f1.2 or f1.4, I dont know it anymore... :-)
The A12 50mm is handicapped with f2.5.
Both at f3.2. Two crops to show that the Nokton is more in details.
A12
Nokton
The Pentax Super Takumar 55mm 1.8 is good sharp in the middle at f1.8, but the Bokeh...
f1.8

wow! just awe inspiring. i just received my gxr from a forum member and i have to say it is the single most underrated overlooked camera out there. it is second to none in build quality, ergonics and custmizability, and better IQ than almost any other mirrorless cam out there.

Still in love with the Nokton 35/1.2...
Last week I bought a VC Heliar Classic 50mm f2 lens on eBay. Still on the way.
Cannot wait to put my hands on it... ;-)
