Show off your Ricoh GXR M-mount and lens!

[johannielscom]

There's loads of nice threads on RFF on 'Show your **********' camera. But, no thread on showing off your Ricoh GXR with M-mount, while you can hook up so many nice lenses to that great little cam!

So I thought I'd better kick a thread off and let people post their Ricoh GXR-M and lens combo's!


Here's mine:

Preferred tool: The Ricoh GXR M-mount with Leitz bayonet adapter and W-Nikkor 1.8/35mm LTM.

The little portrait monster, the 'piccolo M240'​

Fine idea!

Johan, hello, and let me be the second (no, third) to add something here, since you and I are true believers (though you are a deacon of its church, while I am a poor inconsistent parishioner).

I would like to insert images of my GXR with my favorite little long-throw Serenar 100 3.5, which I used to document this year's Northwest Women Writers Symposium (and to take portraits-in-action of the Dalai Lama, which may be seen in my RFF gallery)--and with the 85 1.9 Serenar, faster but far heavier.

Inexplicably, though, RFF upload is behaving badly today and keeps giving me messages that my text is too long when I insert a JPG--which is nonsense, of course, but a handicap nonetheless.

But if anyone visits http://roberthilllong.tumblr.com today (6/16/13), you can see both images!

Nice stuff, folks.

Call me mad (I know some do!) but I'm thinking the GXR-M will in the years to come reach a status similar to the Epson R-D1. Especially now that the Leica M240 is fitted with an auxiliary viewfinder which will (prediction on my behalf) be used a lot by future M240 shooters.

Imagine M240 users shooting with a Helios 44-M like Rainer's, it would border at heresy😀. Us GXR-M shooters, we can fit any lens to that great little cam and be complimented on doing so!🙂

That's a call to arms! I'll go get my Helios 44 and report back from the rose garden later with some psychedelic swirl.

I am getting to like the little GXR. I initially bought it for my son. I thought the focus peaking and live view would make it really easy to explain exposure. Sadly, he is not really interested in photography. I nearly added it to the consignment pile not long ago. Then i went to a workshop where you could try out the line cameras that alot of people rave about. I won't mention the actual name - it might start an argument, but it made me realise how good the GXR is. Here it is with the 60 hex and the 50 summar.

Oh dear, a Hexanon 1.2/60mm...

I nearly choked on my breakfast. Terrific lens. You lucky dawg!😀

Thanks Johan...this thread makes me want a M-Module 😀

Keep 'em coming!
And if anyone wants to trade his module for the 28mm and 50mm, shoot me a PM 😉

I'm a lucky man. 😉
