Lens Adapters

[jalq]

My father gave me some old Olympus lenses (28, 35 and 135mm - all fixed) and two SunPack flashed (Auto20SR and Auto20).
I wonder if the Ricoh GR have some sort of adapter ring that can be used to fit those lenses. Both flashed fit perfect in the hotshoe.

About the flashes, I read somewhere it should be take care of the trigger voltage.
Better know what is the max voltage that the Ricoh can accept.
But concerning the lenses, I ask myself what could be the purpose to fit a lens on a GR? :shock:
The GR, as a compact camera, has his own lens...
If it was the subject of the GXR+M-module, I could understand.

Hello Habeascorpus,

The Ricoh GR only has a fixed focal length of 18.3mm (28mm / 35mm equiv). For the 28mm and 35mm lenses I agree with you I would get basically the same focal length I have in the Ricoh's standard body, but for the 135mm, does it not worth it to have an adapter? 135mm are very good for portraits.

Good afternoon Jalq,
Yes indeed, the 135mm is good focal for portrait, but when that old Pentax lens was installed in front of a 24x36 film !
Do you really want to fit it in addition of the (non-removable) 18.3mm of the GR ?
Because you probably don't expect to use it INSTEAD of the built-in lens of the GR ?
At least, it exists the GW-3 wide-angle converter for the GR, but no tele-angle as far as I know.
If you absolutely want to make the test, you just have to buy the GH-3 adapter, and try to fit your Pentax lens on it.
But I'm afraid the result of this staking will not give you the result you expect...
Once it will be done, please show us the result here !

to adapt a lens on GR,it's just impossible,never,except some lens-converters made for it.
but with a GXR you can,an this days,appear not expensive...

This adapter looks like an interesting project for a 3d printer! I keep you guys posted.

I just adapted the lens and didnt went well.... I got a big black circle. No point in going forward with this experiment.


Below some aditional photos of the Olympus (taken with the Ricoh).
