What about Ricoh GR 28mm M lens?

Resurrecting this old thread.

I recently became an owner of GR Lens 28/2.8 LTM out of a trade. Love the size, ergonomics and the design. I've only got a couple of short rolls so far with the lens so I need to spend more time with it, but so far I am liking its rendering.

A couple of early examples.

Anyone else shooting with the GR lens around here?

So I guess absolutely no one here shoot with this lens huh?

Here is another one from my second roll with the GR lens.

Lovely. This is a lens I'd love to try.

I always wanted to try one, but the high asking prices on the auction site kept me away.

Resurrecting an old thread but does anyone have experience with this lens on digital cameras. I found a few photos on Flickr taken with a M10, M9 and a Sony A7 iii. Hard to judge from the handful of photos. I remember reading somewhere that this lens didn't get along real well with digital sensors.

Does anyone still modify broken GRs into M mount?
