Hi
I recently bought a GXR plus P10 for a great price in anticipation of the M mount being released this autumn. I have really enjoyed using the camera. The interface is brilliant. I dont like the P10 that much though with not great image quality and focusing problems I bought the A12 28mm which is a relevation. So much faster than the P10 and stunning image quality.
My dilema is that I am itching to get another lens but the A12 50mm would duplicate the M mount Zeiss 35mm I already own. The Zeiss is a stunning lens. No one seems to have done a comparison with Ricoh and Zeiss or Leica lenses, or Nikon SLR lenses. The other dilema is the cost. When one compares the £500 I would have to pay for the A 12 compared to say a Nikon 50mm f1.8 at £112 the price of the Ricoh seems crazy, even taking in to consideration the sensor etc that the A12 includes.
