I like the images in this set.

The cameraman with the police bottom left actually gets away with that huge square block of nothing, purely because of the detachment between the two subjects. A nice bit of observation.

Amilner's point is being looked at as well.

Maybe a moot point, but I've moved this to lenses purely out of interest as it is an unusual lens.

Considering thought that I just sold a mint one, totally complete and as new, but another mount for just £32 on eBay, then £100 can't really be much of a deal.

We now have a Pentax Ricoh camera section. After all, the new GR is being marketed by Pentax and is now firmly under the wing of Pentax.

This is a closer relationship than the Samsung DSLRs ever were, so we discussed those freely enough and there's every reason to embrace the Ricoh branded cameras from now onwards.

They do seem to have transformed into a Pentax-Ricoh hybrid already.

Stan, I cannot deny what you say, it is indeed so.

A friend once lent me a Leica M3, supposed to be the best camera ever made, but sadly I hated the thing. Dreadful viewfinder, heavy as a small car and nowhere near as good as an ME Super for actually taking photos.

Isn't there a hotshoe mounted EVF for the Q?

Wouldn't (or perhaps 'couldn't') that work on the MX-1 with a small firmware update?
No, there are no electronic contacts for one on the Q. The viewfinder is an optical one, a very high quality optical one at that.

There is no hotshoe at all on the MX-1.

I've already asked for one, so let's see what happens.

I want one too, but then I also want.....and so it goes on.

Have fun with your MX-1 and we'd love to see some pictures.

One advantage of the Q is the tiny sensor, which means that cine lenses and all sorts of wonderful obscure lenses will fit and cover the format.

Thinking about it though, I haven't seen that many, if any, great images come out of these experiments, with any combination.
