steve_larese1 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 <p>Hi all,</p><p>I have a Voigtlander 15mm I'd like to dust off and use. Leica M9 is out of my (price) league, and reports say the 15mm isn't great on it anyway. The new Fuji x pro 1 looks good, but again initial testing shows smeared corners with the 15mm (though it hasn't been tested with the Fuji adapter).</p><p>The Ricoh GXR-M, however, seems to test very well with wide angles. Is anyone using this system and would like to comment? Even better if you've used the 12mm with it.</p><p>Thanks</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariel_s1 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 <p>They seem to work fine based on what I've seen online; check some reviewer websites like SteveHuffPhoto.com and Luminous-Landscape.com who do comparisons. Here is Steve Huff, for example where he test shoots a Ricoh with 15mm to show that it doesn't color-shift compared to the Sony NEX-7:<br> http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2011/10/28/sony-nex-7-with-wide-angle-leica-lenses-a-quick-test-and-gxr-comparison/<br> Michael Reichmann (Luminous Landscape) also specifically tests the 15mm:<br> http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/ricoh_gxr_a12_field_report.shtml<br> He states a small color cast, but it's nothing unreasonable, and I'm sure it's very fixable in post-processing. If that's a problem for you, you may want to consider the NEX-5n with the add-on viewfinder.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip_wilson Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It should work fine - despite all the horror stories on the web my 12mm works very well on my M8 so I am sure the 12 or 15 will be fine on the APS-C crop of the GXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
