i like the way you think!Now imagine new modules for IR, UV, very low light, achromatic (b+w), or even profiled like classic films (Velvia, Kodachrome, etc.)!
Keep it coming, Ricoh!

I would not like to see any film profiles baked-in to the image. Personally, picking what you like in post processing is far more flexible.I would love a B&W optimized component!!! Then, layer in classic B&W film profiles in-camera.
. . .. and of course, if they were making a black and white only lens, they could do away with the bayer filter and get 3 times the resolution for the same number of pixels.I would love a B&W optimized component!!! Then, layer in classic B&W film profiles in-camera.
Bob, every sensor processes with its own unique profile based on its physics, baking this into the RAW file. There really is no such thing as "pure RAW".I would not like to see any film profiles baked-in to the image. Personally, picking what you like in post processing is far more flexible.

Eh? what sort of lens is this?...if they were making a black and white only lens...
The Japanese site says it will go on sale in the beginning of December. If you order it between now and the day before it goes on sale, they'll give you a Ricoh strap.And across the street from me, Yodobashi-Yokohama says they have it in stock.

don't forgot to fondle, please.I will go there this afternoon (Japan time)
I do this today with the GRD series. But, would love to have more control. I tweak exposure, ISO and the B&W settings to get something I'm looking for, but to have a catalog of film-type settings to use as a base for further tweaking would be sweet.andrewtee-- the GXR, like other Ricohs, allows you to shoot RAW & JPEG. the b/w has a ton of options and it's quite easy to find a look you like with a little trial and error.
It might need a new category of "digital Fronts"Some people are hard to please
I'll try again:
Medium format and digital backs
Better?
Hmm . . . . One with a monochrome sensor? No Bayer filter? Like the Kodak 'whateveritwasitmighthavebeena760butIcantremember'!Eh? what sort of lens is this?
At least that camera is a camera that doesn't have an identity crisis.
