Broad Trip

Today was more about driving along the Broads and seeing different places and towns. This is aseries with some pictures from the trip.

Welcome to Blickling Hall

Since it's been a long weekend I decided to go to Norfolk and visit a few places there. The first place on the list was Blickling Hall and it's what today's series is all about.

I decided to take the GXR with both A12 modules with me since it's a great travel combo, small, light and with very good image quality. I can't wait to get the GXR Mount A12 so I can use some other focal lengths when needed.

Today, I had the pleasure of meeting up with friend and fellow blogger Björn in Greenwich for some photography and beers. He had his GH2 and GF2 with him so I got to use the GH2 with the Leica f2.8 45mm macro lens. I had my Epson RD1 along and took a few pictures with it but handed Björn the M lenses to try on the GF2.
It was a great meet and we had some people amused by all the cameras and lenses on the table.

I decided to post pictures from both the RD1 and GH2 and one picture to show a bit the different character.

GXR Mount A12 Preview

Today, I got the chance to try the new GXR Mount A12 module. So let me start by first saying a big thanks to Ricoh for letting me use the unit.

While the weather was grey and rainy and I only had a few hours of shooting but it was great to be able to finally see it and use it to take pictures.
I brought two of my Voigtlander lenses with me, the Voigtländer Nokton f1.4 35mm, the Voigtländer Super-Wide Heliar f4.5 15mm and Ricoh gave me the Ricoh XR Rikenon f1.2 55mm for K mount with a m-mount adapter. This gave me from wide-angle over normal to portrait a good kit to use the module for a wide range of pictures.

Read below for my full first impressions and to see some sample pictures taken with the lenses, please note that the module was still a pre-production unit with unfinished firmware.
