Christian Sorega wrote on his blog that a new GXR zoom module is expected to be announced tomorrow: “As a treat for the people joining this meetup Ricoh released some information about the upcoming GXR zoom module.

In addition to Sony and Nikon, Ricoh will also delay the GXR A12 unit (Leica M mount) as a result of the flood in Thailand. This is what Adorama published on their website: “Due to the flooding in Thailand the production schedule for this item has been delayed till Feb 2012. PLEASE NOTE: You can […]
Yesterday B&H started taking pre-orders for the new Ricoh GXR A12 unit for Leica M mount lenses. This is a good indication that a shipment is on its way to the store (B&H won’t start taking pre-orders otherwise). Some more pictures of the unit can be seen over at LeicaRumors.

Ricoh’s GXR roadmap vaguely mentions that other “expansion units” will be available in 2011 without providing more details.
In addition to the Sony E-mount roadmap from yesterday, there is also a new Ricoh GXR roadmap. The big news here is that in 2011 Ricoh will also offer expansion units but the roadmap does not specify what mounts will be supported. Previous rumors already suggested MicroFourThirds module and even Leica M mount and Hasselblad mount prototypes were […]
