Yes indeed, Ago was a brilliant rider. There were racing MV Agusta fours and triples, depending on the years—all of them quite lovely.Giacomo Agostini I guess, that 4 pot MV Agusta was a beauty!
. . . so I bought this.
It is full frame and "dressed up" for sneaky street photography . Works like a charm, buttery smooth, and has the extra Ricoh touch of a fast lever wind on the bottom.
Taken with my new A16 zoom (Michiel noticed )
This is a nice set up. The sensor is what you would expect - very good indeed, a Nex5n sensor without the AA filter.
Zoom is large, but light and balances well with the camera. Haven't had too much time with it, but will soon change that

...and just as if its new !
please let us know if you got inside-rumours about the 16Mp M mount, just about considering the 12Mp M, BUT the other one might just appear tomoroow..or a day after...

thanks for thoughts. Have been thinking in the same direction. And all the others are out with 16Mp, so they can't risk waiting too long, or they might be pushing us/costumers over to the enemy’s.Thorkil
I think an A16 M-Mount will most likely appear in fall. They obviously have the sensor and the the know-how. The only question is will they skip this sensor and go to the next generation (whatever that may be)
Depending on personal circumstances I would hold off for now on the A12 - I think news will start leaking in the next couple of months.

An A16 Camera Mount would be nice, but I still find photos with the A12 Camera Mount to be as good or better than anything I see out of its competition in the TTL electronic class with my M-bayonet lens kit, so no risk of me going anywhere else for the present. And of course, I've already succumbed to buying the M9, which seems to be what I pick up most by default these days.thanks for thoughts. Have been thinking in the same direction. And all the others are out with 16Mp, so they can't risk waiting too long, or they might be pushing us/costumers over to the enemy’s.
Well, yes and no.an M mount 16Mp should be a substitute for a M9 ...
Yes I know, forgot to write, that it for me would be a substitute, while having a M6, yes I really liked the M-doing of things and enjoyed doing presetting, and would love that M-feeling again, and the GXR don't give it, but one can live with it, although it doesn't come near the M-feeling, but its smaller, light, the shutter is almost silent, and it seems to be almost invisible too, and are able to do the presetting too...and I do take the most pictures with it, and a lot easier to carry than my D800E, and perhaps that +4Mp woun't give a mighty difference...but patience one should be a healthy thing..Well, yes and no.
- Totally different focusing system and viewfinder feel, as well as overall ergonomics and feature set.
- The sensor format differences causes photos made with the two cameras, despite using the same lens, to have a different feel entirely due to the differences in FoV-DoF coupling.
- The cameras respond differently too - different shutter lag, different exposure to ready cycle, etc.
I find them to be complementary, but not substitutable. Of course, if I couldn't afford the M9, I was quite happy shooting with the GXR-M for nearly everything.
It would if the sensor was full frameperhaps that +4Mp woun't give a mighty difference...
The 24MP sensor from the D3X and A900 which rumours have planted in the D600 that may or may not be launched would be nice. The first really compact 35mm digital camera?It would if the sensor was full frame
One can wish.
Morning Godfrey,Lovely, Michiel!
Yes, we should all shoot on contentedly with the excellent equipment we already have.
I'm off to the Sierra foothills today ... will bring either the Leica or the Ricoh, haven't decided yet. Either one will make great photos.
I agree with that. My Nex 7 has gone, I could not get on with the interface. Back to the GXR, and it seems like a breath of fresh air........Although I usually take the NEX-7 and the Ricoh together with be, but it is a bit confusing. Mostly I end up using one of them instead of switching all the time.
