R1 mod to full frame 24mm

[33dollars]

The Ricoh R1 has a cult following because it can be modified to shoot full frame 24mm.
Normally it is 30mm, Panoramic 30mm Wide & Panoramic 24mm.
For the panoramic features a curtain is applied to the top & bottom of frame. And for 24mm panoramic, 2 small lenses swing in to place.
These curtains can be blocked to allow full frame 24mm images.
So I gave it a go on my R1 with date. As you can see there is vignetting.

I may of over cooked the development by 1 minute, but I like it still.

The vignetting is a bit too strong, but generally speaking, not that bad Good conversion!

Thanks Genster.
Pavel I think the vignetting would be less if I hadn't over cooked the development. I like the tone of them with the extra development. With a slight crop the vignetting would be less noticeable.
