Anyone else spiced up their Ricoh GX100 (or their GRD's) with other-brand accessories/additions?
Heres some of my combinations.
Ricoh GX100, Ricoh HA-2, 43>46mm Step-up Ring, Nikon 16mm WC-EC8 Wide Angle Lens, Lomography Coloursplash Flash.
Ricoh GX100, Ricoh HA-2, 43>46mm Step-up Ring, Nikon 16mm WC-EC8 Wide Angle Lens, Viewfinder from Lomography LC-A+ Wide Angle Lens Kit.
(The viewfinder seems to be a similar wide angle to the lens so works well as a true viewfinder)
Ricoh GX100, Ricoh HA-2, 43>46mm Step-up Ring, Nikon 16mm WC-EC8 Wide Angle Lens, Lomography Ringflash
Side view...
To attach the Lomography Ringflash, i'm using the adapter for the Lomo Fisheye2 camera. It covers the tripod hole in the Ricoh GX100 so what i'm going to do is make a hole in the adapter so i can bolt it on so that it's solid!
Surprisingly, the ringflash actually fits the GX100 BETTER than it does to the Lomo LC-A and Holga lol!
Ricoh GX100, Ricoh HA-2, 43>46mm Step-up Ring, Nikon 16mm WC-EC8 Wide Angle Lens, Mirage 400 (old skool flash)
In order to get the Nikon lens to fit the Ricoh HA-2 adapter I had to get a 43 to 46mm step up ring. It's a beautiful lens, I got it for a bargain £32 from ebay. It is very heavy - probably about the same weight as the camera.
It manages to give a superwide image but keeps lines relatively straight - impressive stuff! It does however give some vignetting in the corners when on full wide zoom. I dont mind this though - can add a bit of character to pics.
If you zoom in a little bit though, the vignetting dissapears.
Here's an example of the vignetting ....
