Post your GXR A12M images

[KEH]

18th St. WDC

Raw with default settings in Lightroom, crop added. The camera does a pretty good job with the variety of light that is being thrown at it, and the CV40/1.4 SC wide open gives the pastel effect.

Cheers,
Kirk

Don't you all have any pictures that are absolutely horrible? How about some mercy?

I just managed to get the Ricoh GXR and the A12 M-Mount yesterday evening from a store in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Very impressed by the camera itself so far (the build is excellent) - but I'm still learning the settings and I think I still need a bit of time to extract the right image quality from the sensor. Here's a link with my first test shots:

Shots taken with a Zeiss ZM 21mm f4.5 and a ZM 35mm f2.8. Their small size is ideal for the GXR.

Are those JPGs out of the camera or processed from DNG? I would guess the former.

Yes, my shots were taken in RAW format and converted in JPEGs in Aperture. I actually did little work on them - just boosted saturation in colour and converted a couple of shots to B&W.

The camera is fantastic but I'm still struggling a little with the exposure and colour management (I shoot in RAW). Anyway, still learning...

I'm slowly getting to know the camera and the M-Mount better. I'm still struggling to get the best colours, but some photos show good results. So I guess the problem is the photographer, not the camera... ;-)

GXR m-mount + 12mm + 10 stop​

...​

I am enjoying this incredibly small landscape setup. Thank you Ricoh!​

My voigtlander 12mm is getting a new lease of life with this m-module. Certainly open up landscape opportunities with a small setup that I was trying to do with the EP2 1 year back without much success. Not only is 12mm only 24mm in m43s, but generally based on the files I was looking at the resolution, sharpness just wasn't the same with the GXR m-module. But that's still based on the EP2 sensor. Not sure how that's progressed since.

I think this is a great travel landscape combination, and still be a great street snapshot when you want to get close to your subjects!

In any case, here's another landscape with a longer exposure.

Ethereal!

This is exactly why I could be interested!

Would it be too much trouble to post a photo of the body+lens combo?

This is shot with my iPhone3GS. So pardon the pixelated image.

GXR + M-Module + Voigtländer Ultra Wide-Heliar 12mm LTM + Filter Adapter + Cokin P Wide-Angle Holder

​

I chose the LTM version instead of the recent m-mount one as it's definitely smaller, and it's got a filter adapter (77mm which is quite usual for landscape lenses I use in my DSLR setup) where I can mount square 85mm filters. If I have the money, I'll get the LEE RF ones, but nah, I don't have that much dough.

This should give you a fair idea of how big the setup is. Coupled that with the Sirui T025, you have a simple, light weight landscape and travel setup!

Please note there is also an opening (quadrant) that's opened up in the filter adapter that you'll need to cover up during your long exposures ... just a simple black cloth or towel will do.

Yes, 12mm is only a 18mm on a cropped sensor, but that's probably already quite wide for most landscape usage!

Looks great to me. I like the GXR body.

I know I don't have to spend a bomb on it, ...

OK, you have to look for a good price. This:

is definitely not a good one, 900 Euro!! 😱

But I think you can find one around $200-$300.

I think the GXR-M does an extremely good job in details and sharpness with old glass! 🙂

Some really great shots around here.

Has anybody already tried the 35/2.8 Summaron on GXR?

Saw one on ebay looking for around 300. Let's see how.

A sunrise shot. Was a little late, as the sun's already out. :bang:

Hope this gives you an idea what this combination can do for you.
