Today we're reviewing a rather unusual camera, the Rixoh GXR A12 M Mount. This 12 Megapixel camera module for the Ricoh GXR system can be loaded with Leica M-mount lenses!


When Ricoh presented its GXR system—which sees various sensor/lens modules slotted into a standard camera back—some fans started getting excited about the possible launch of module equipped with a sensor and a lens mount, so instead of having a built-in lens, you'd be able to hook up any lens you like. This effectively splits the camera body, the electronics and the lens into separate entities that can then be assembled freely, like a medium-format camera. And that's exactly what Ricoh has done with the GXR A12 M Mount module, which has a 12-Megapixel APS-format CMOS sensor and an M-type lens mount, typically used for rangefinder lenses.
