I leave in Japan and had the magazine in my hands. It is photoshoped.

Howeber you should take a look at Nippon camera 2010/02 (60th anniversary) page 125 through 131. A lot of interesting pictures of what could be the future camera modules of the GXR.

Cheers,

Tregix.

As far as I can tell from the exceptionally poor Google and Babelfish translations, they admit it's a fake ... I think. I thought it was at least worth mentioning: http://www.laura.jp/kh/2009/11/18101500.htmlIf they do make an M-Mount module, how will it focus? Just by eyeballing it in live view? No thanks.

If true, this changes my whole thinking regarding Ricoh's strategy. That looks like a Zeiss G Biogon 21/2.8 lens I guess from the old G series Contax cameras.

If not fake, this was at least photoshopped. The oval angle of the lens circle is also inconsistent with the finder, suggesting shopped. The shadows aren’t consistent.

The Zeiss lens in the image is LTM so an adapter was added. The external viewfinder is a Leica 21-24-28 tri-finder. The button on the left is the lens release and the lever on the right is the frameline override. Why would this module need a frameline override? Isn't this camera EVIL?

However, if they can actually make a Leica-M mount module (with full frame sensor ideally) then that system just got 100x more interesting. That truly would be a poor mans Leica M9.
