Fun with M Lenses on anything other then a Leica

I maintain and contend that the Ricoh GXR is no slouch, despite is 1 MP EVF....Truth be told, I adore the images coming from this lens/sensor combo. All shots here with either the 135 APO-Telyt (eff 200 mm) and the Zeiss Sonnar 50 mm f/1.5 (eff 75 mm)

UW's starting QB - Keith Price (outstanding QB, by the way)
3)


UW's backup QB: Nick Montana (Joe's son)
2)


Swarming Defense, lead by Cort Dennison:

The Running Game, lead by Chris Polk
1)


Colorado's kicker...
10)

Cant forget about the refs
Ashwin: These are great! Definitely, "no slouch" in the right hands. Color and IQ's excellent. You went to the game and you weren't even working. Any odd looks from the 'big gear' photogs? :salute:

Cheers, Matt

Ashwin - unreal shots with the GXR! What a combo. Is it easier focusing the 135 on the GXR opposed to the M9?

Matt - nice shots. The 90 Summarit works great on the NEX-5N. I am using it more on the NEX than I did on the M9

Thanks, Ryan, Matt and Steve!

Ryan, I do feel that the 135 is easier to use (for me) on the GXR, due to not having to deal with a very small focus patch area....the 135 is really a joy to use on the GXR...one of my "go to" lenses for that system! Thanks again!

Lots of great shots here, inspiring me to get a GXR-M as well. My first few with the 35mm f3.5 Perar.

Nice pictures, Retow. Are these jpegs directly from the camera? I have this lens too and find the colors very vibrant.

Keith, I shot raw&normal size jpegs set to "vivid". The posted ones are jpegs, with simple conversions into b&w in iphoto. The colors with the Perar are vibrant indeed. Love this lens on the GXR, more so than on the M9.

Jono: Great! Actually this one is my favorite. I like the tension and imbalance. :thumbup:

Imbalance! it's my speciality :)
. . . . and that's a nice balanced bum in your last shot

Here are a couple with the NEX 5n and the 35 Summarit with the Hawks helicoid adaptor for close focus (apologies for duplicate posting).

Jono: Thanks! :D Cool photos. :thumbup: Also, thanks for the link. I don't think that the right adapter is listed? Enjoying your photos, though.
