will fuji make a 16?

In my opinion the Ricoh's lens is sharper, but the contrast is similar. The 18mm from Fuji just isn't up to par with its larger lenses. It's good but not great. I think the Ricoh GR's lens is more towards the great end of the scale. Totally unscientific opinion of course. I would gladly use the 18mm with my Fujis. It's just that I needed a pocket camera and the Ricoh outperformed it for my needs.

I agree the gr is sharper. The gr Wide open at f2.8, the Fuji 18 needs to be at f4 (ymmv due to manufacturing tolerence differences).

Ahhh.. How about a speedbooster and the Leica r or contax or Nikon 24/25mm lens on the xp1. I use it w/ my Nikon af and ais lenses.
