Comments on: Ricoh GXR cartridge for Leica M lenses? http://leicarumors.com/2010/03/11/ricoh-gxr-cartridge-for-leica-m-lenses.aspx/ Leica news, before it happens Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:08:40 +0000 hourly 1 By: LR adminhttp://leicarumors.com/2010/03/11/ricoh-gxr-cartridge-for-leica-m-lenses.aspx/comment-page-1/#comment-3307 LR admin Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:03:35 +0000 http://leicarumors.com/?p=4122#comment-3307 My understanding is that those prototypes were displayed on Ricoh's booth at the show. This puts some validity to this rumor - otherwise why would they display it on their official booth? The Google translation is not clear - maybe I am missing something.

More like a wishlist to me, since they have the GXR stuck to a bellow and even as the digital back of a Hassy SWC! :D hi everyone, this is purly a case study done by magazine “Japan Camera” (日本カメラ) in the February issue.

Hmm, no while it have a strange box surface, it IS a module camera, so it could be the real thing.. though it would not be hard to wrap a piece of cardboard with black plastic and a M lens, so why photoshop this.

The catch would be, the Ricoh is not a rangefinder camera and from playing with my G1 I can say for sure it is easier to focus a M lens on a M camera than anything else so far.
