p.1 #1 · Ricoh GR IIIx + GT-2 (teleconverter) => sample pictures?


Have any of you stumbled upon pictures taken with the new teleconverter for the Ricoh GR IIIx? I would (for portraits) be very interested in it.

So far I haven't come across anything

Thanks! Interesting. However, unfortunately he didn’t do any headshots so one could see the bokeh/blur of this teleconverter.

But it seems as if he will deliver soon

I don't understand why people don't use the crop modes GR cameras offer. If you just view your images on internet, even in the second crop mode, the area of the APS-C sensor used for capturing image is still multiple times larger than that of a cellphone sensor.

I don’t really understand your comment. So we all start cropping now instead of buying lenses with different focal lengths?

Yes strange comment and even more so because the GT-2 is based on an optical multiplier and the use of crop from what I read.
I guess this falls into the category "I'm gonna explain what you should do because I have no idea about it".

Courses for horses. For me, I'm totally fine with using the camera's built-in crop modes unless I'll need to go wider.

Sure. Why not. But all you do is crop. And all you get is a cropped image. If that’s what you are after, go ahead.

Btw. At the largest German Pentax forum a representative of Ricoh Germany regularly communicates with members and asks for user wishes to improve the system. He then communicates it to Ricoh/Pentax Japan.

What he himself wants to see is the possibility to use the teleconverter without automatically cropping the picture (75mm). You can read his statement here:

Thank you. Mostly portraits. But also “regular“ tele photos are of interest.

Maybe a better question to ask is - what sorts of characteristics are you looking to see? Sharpness, bokeh quality, etc. Are you curious about handling? Focus speed?

Did some first quick test shots.
