Subject: [Leica] Ricoh GR 28 f/2.8 for Leica M
From: Pascal <cyberdog@ibm.net>

Ricoh has a screwmount lens for the Leica M series: the GR 28mm f/2.8. 
You will have to buy a screwmount to M-bayonet convertor to use it with 
the M however (the M-bayonet is proprietary).

It was tested in the May issue of Chasseur d'Images, and performs very 
well, although not up to the (very high) level of its Leica M counterpart.

But who would buy an M series and then mount a Ricoh lens on it? Didn't 
we all get Leica because of the lenses?
