we've been wondering what that rather long tube is on the table in the video... it looks like an extra-long version of the 40mm converter for the GRD/GRDII. perhaps a teleconverter for the 50mm?This is a rather intriguing camera, and if it's solidly built, it's rather interesting for travel, particularly if they come up with telephoto and wide option without too much delay.
But, from what we've seen so far, Ricoh doesn't appear to be offering this. Here's hoping because, dead-end system or not, I would buy a 40mm-e lens coupled with an APS-C sensor in an instant, even if the camera was somewhat larger than a GRD.Interesting that quite a few people will buy the DP1 and DP2 or have said they would buy a 40mm equivalent GRD to go with the 28mm version. For those people this idea is great.
Well, I'll drink to that (hic). Perhaps there's more to it than meets the eye. . . . or perhaps there isn't :ROTFL:you are!
the other grump is my living room.
a pox on both of you!

i love that a company is being daring
hell, i'll drink to anything -- CHEERS!Well, I'll drink to that (hic). Perhaps there's more to it than meets the eye. . . . or perhaps there isn't :ROTFL:
i was hoping for the 40mm as well. i've grown kind of fond of it as i've glued the conversion lens to my GRD... i was really hoping Ricoh would stick with it.But, from what we've seen so far, Ricoh doesn't appear to be offering this.

rumoured to be f/2.5.50mm does seem odd (for Ricoh) since the GRD converters were 21 and 40. The m4/3 pancakes are 35 and 40mm.
Do we know the aperture of the supposed 50mm?
:ROTFL:The new ricoh may be clever and intriguing.. but I am at a loss to see where this fits in the market.
Its a solution looking for a problem
Not according to the Wikipedia entry on bokeh:...The whole concept of bokeh was not something that i can't recall being actively discussed until a couple of years ago...
