Ricoh GRX gets a 28mm f2.5 module

[Avotius]

Great news for the Ricoh faithful (of whom I count myself). The GRX is getting two more modules!

A boring 28-300 zoom

And a more interesting 28mm equivalent f2.5 APS-C sized CMOS sensor and a manual focus ring. With Ricoh's history of street photographer friendly camera designs, especially its SNAP mode settings, this could turn out to be a really interesting camera set up.

I hope Ricoh can keep the great color and black and white tones we have come to know from the GRD type cameras.

Right. Guess I'm getting a GRX then.

With APSC 50mm and 28mm modules, I've run out of excuses...

28mm 2.5 sounds pretty perfect, that along with the 50 and Id be set. lets hope they drop inprice a touch though

This sounds really interesting. Can someone direct me to the announcement or description of the new modules?

End of the year, though, isn't it?

That's a long wait.

Now where is that fast 35?
