Fun with the RX-1

I'm new to RX1 ownership and just received the Ricoh GW-3 wide-angle converter I bought to try with my RX1.

I'm replacing a Fuji X100S outfit and really liked the 35/28 combo I achieved using a WCL-X100 wide-angle converter and am hoping to come up with something similar for my RX1 outfit.

I must say that, so far, I am favorably impressed by the GW-3's performance ... see the attached photos of my next-door neighbor's house, which were taken at f8 and focused manually using the macro ring hack. The corners are a teeny bit soft, but the center looks to be decently sharp and most importantly, the RX1's essential character remains.

Just sold my A7 and a few other things to get a RX1r...The A7 took wonderful photos, but I never really got along with it - I never had "fun" taking pictures with it. I love my M2 because it seems to just get out of the way, and even though it was the first weekend with the RX1r I had the same feeling. Very, very happy with this decision!
