I agree that the crop is a better photo than the original and I have no doubt about the quality of the DFA 21mm... but you could argue that using crops means that you should have left the house with a longer focal length in the first place...

What a dapper 'tache!

Pfff - try living in Madrid! I always lived close to the sea until I moved here and now I'm 400km away from the nearest coastline. I need a bit of sea every once in a while, good for the soul. In the meantime I'll have to settle for wonderful photos like these

It'll be difficult to sell without photos, a description of the condition of each item and at least a ballpark idea of the price.

I don't mind EVFs at all, they have a few advantages over OVFs, but Ricoh have re-stated their commitment to DSLRs.

I had been thinking "what if the mirror disappears to the side, sliding into a slot instead of flipping up?" but one of these materials which goes from clear to reflective by passing an electric current through it sounds much better. I'm not sure if they can become completely clear though to let all the light through.

Yes. I got a couple of knock-offs years ago. One of them lasted a year and then held almost no charge, the other did better but never anything close to the power I got from the original that came with my K-3. That original is still going strong and I have another genuine one I bought years ago which is also absolutely fine.

Very nice. Those green mountains look luscious.

The ball seems a strange item for promotional stuff. You could throw it for your dog and snap photos of it chasing after it and bringing it back...

If Ricoh do bring out a new DSLR, perhaps the batteries will be kept the same format, after all, all camera batteries are broadly the same anyway so it would very likely cost them nothing to maintain it.

I recently saw for sale a very old Asahi Pentax tie pin with the original Asahi logo. Quite cool but I'd never use it.

Well, at least it's in motion.

If they can't get the part then you may be able to source one by buying a 16-85mm that is broken but with some other fault.
