He managed to get a 12mm/5.6 out of focus. That's impossible. I shoot that on a Bessa L without even a finder.

Even so he writes: "So where does the Ricoh stand? I will take lots of backlash for saying this, but it stands as a replacement for a Leica in the same ways that the Fuji X100 does. It doesn’t have the Fuji’s stunning good looks, but it does have some very similar ergonomic control. In fact, I feel that the Ricoh GXR’s controls really put the settings that count where you need them. It also does this in a smaller package, and it has a significantly better manual focusing system."
