⭐️ Different world. Ricoh GXR M-Mount A12
—————————————-
There’s only a few of us. ☝️🧐 And I know it’s not a competition, but you really can’t help but notice what gear the other photographers are using. Basically, anyone that pays for an expensive event pass is probably a bit more serious about photography. “So who is this goofball shooting a digicam⁉️”🤪
——————————————————————-
This is a 2011 A12 M-mount module for the Ricoh GXR. $649. 12.3mp, APS-C CMOS. It’s part of the interchangeable module system that can swap out the both the lenses and sensors together. The A12 is arguably the star of the system. 🤩
——————————————————————-
Sure, I know what you’re thinking. “Why put a Leica lens on a digicam⁉️” I suppose If you can buy a Leica lens, you can probably buy a Leica body. 🤔 Plus, I’m not oblivious to Ricoh’s marketing hype to be associated with Leica. It’s kinda gimmicky for sure. 😅
——————————————————————
However, it’s important to keep in mind that there’s other 3rd party manufacturers that use the m-mount. Look no further than Zeiss and Voightlander lenses. These are high quality lenses that usually command respect in the photography community. 👌🤓
——————————————————————
This is my 3rd time to introduce a GXR, my favorite digicam. I have to admit the A12 is the main reason. It’s fun to shoot a manual lens, especially a rangefinder one. Hearing an actual mechanical focal plane shutter is music to my ears. It’ll do a max 1/4000. Or if you’re worried about vibration the electronic shutter can do 1/8000. The ISO is from 100 - 3200. I can rock this camera and highly recommend it❗️✊😎

Ps. Song is “Stereo Hearts” by Gym Class Hero’s, 2011. Watch is a 60’s Seiko Business-A. ☺️

A most awesome camera outfit Johnny!! I used a GXR with M module for many years and it was fantastic! Stopped using the M module after getting an M9 but I still use the GXR with the 28mm and 50mm macro. Unique product!! 😍📸🔥👍

🔥😍😮👏Great vibe Johnny! Fantastic photos. Regret not getting the used GXR kit a few years ago from a local dealer before the prices went bananas.
