Need some advice here and hope the Ricoh bros here can help.
I've moved from a digital M to film M for a while now, but I'd be travelling for a bit year end and didn't want to carry hordes of film around. So I am looking for a digital solution. My top criteria for camera gears is that it must be small & light. Of course, fast and ease of use would be good too. I was eyeing the Oly OMD for some time as it seems to satisfy my needs but the build quality seems of
suspicion. Not that it would kill photography but it will certainly bug me.
The GXR has never really piqued my interest, until now, because (pardon me for saying this) it looks like a strange animal especially with the A12 M-mount module (I can picture it mounted with my Summitar 50 drawing curious stares from people). But somehow, I am drawn to the fact I can use it with some of my M lens lying around instead of investing in another system altogether. But my question is, the GXR (body at least) has been out for at least a few years now, so is it silly to jump in on the system this late?
BTW, I love my GRD. Thanks for reading
