-->Thanks for the correction! If anyone has a GXR without the M, don't hesitate. There is a wealth of adapters, not just ltm->M. (I just got a Konica->M to mount my 57/1.4 on the GXR....)

I would love to buy these immediately. But being from Germany, it's almost impossible to order from Canada.

Same here. M mount and GXR P combo on the way.

I'm tempted to get a second one at that price
Get one set for me and I'll pay through paypal...
It was hard to pass up the m module and body for less than $500 shipped, but I did pass it up. It feels good not to have succumbed to GAS.

Darn good price on a darn good camera.
The GXR + A12 Camera Mount + EVF or OVF makes a superb body for M-mount lenses. $600 or so ... I would be tempted to buy another if I didn't already have the M9.
And if I hadn't just spent a bunch of money on the Coolscan 9000 ... ! :-0

Same here. I was sorely tempted but I resisted! I didn't really find my nex 5n kit lacking as digital back for leica lenses so I decided to save some $$

Randy, here's Ricoh's list of (in)compatibles. They feature a shot from the 21 SA btw.

To be precise, it's just a list of known compatible/incompatible lenses they've tested with. There are tons more lenses available to use, Ricoh certainly doesn't have access to all of them.
The A12 Camera Mount comes with a jig to check a lens for mechanical interference. That's the best way to determine whether a particular lens fits without problems.

Robert, thanks!
Unfortunately according to a previous post the body is already out of stock ...

The kits are still available and with the body+p10 kit being $174 cnd (versus $125 for the body only), it's still a pretty good offer for some days when you just don't need the m module.

Hi Randy,
as mentioned above (I saw your question only just now, sorry), the Super-Angulon works fine. I used mine on the M-mount until very recently and it had the 'standard' rear collar, not the CL and M5-modified collar.
I suspect the Summicron-DR to be fine too, there is no light baffle in the GXR M-Mount that could interfere with it.

Did Ricoh make any kind of viewfinder for the zoom lenses. I owned a GRDII for about a year and have regretted it ever since I sold it. This is a great deal and I am very tempted to get the body+p10. Does anyone know about a viewfinder for this lens?

Rick,
the GXR has an electronic viewfinder, the viewfinder has a small LCD screen inside and shows the view through the lens. I use this VF-2 type viewfinder (the VF-1 doesn't fit the GXR!) on my camera with the M-Mount unit and can see through my M39 screw mount lenses while shooting them

Thanks for the info.
Good grief, I just purchased a new Pana/Leica 25 1.4 lens for my GX-1, last week. If I buy another camera system, my wife will divorce me after almost 40 years of marriage.....at least that is what she tells me every time I get something new. Cause I know how this will go- once I get the camera, I will need the viewfinder, then the 28mm lens looks very enticing, and on and on it goes.
Oh well, it is never too late to be single again, I guess......
Like I mentioned before, I owned a GRDII for about a year. I purchased it specifically for a project and it turned out to be one of the best street cameras I have ever owned.

Technically, if you already have even a single Leica M39 or M lens, you're not getting into a new system when you buy the GXR M-mount unit with it...

Here's a picture of the Ricoh GXR fitted with M-mount camera unit, VF-2 EVF, Nikon F to M-Mount adapter, and Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4 AI-S ED-IF lens:
(It's a bit more tele than I really use, so I've sold this lens but kept the Nikon 105/2.8 Micro AF-D...)

Godfrey,
that is a cool set-up, haha!
I've purchased myself a Kipon adapter from Nikon-F to Leica-M and use that to mount a Nikkor-S 1.4/58mm to my M-Mount unit! Gets me a perfect 85mm 1.4 lens, manually focused and low contrast!
Is it (a bit) bulky? Yes! Can it be shot hand-held? Sure, no doubt! Oh, and I have a 2.5/105mm pre-AI Nikkor-P for it too, as well as two Tamron Adaptall zoom lenses, a 24-48mm and a 35-80mm
