Catching the moire
I took this photograph mostly because I saw this gentleman lying beneath the palm either reading or taking pictures with his cell phone. The lens was probably set to f/5.6 or f/8.0 and it was rather quick grab. Little did I know that I actually caught a very healthy specimen of moire... Look for yourself...
Of course at this small size it is hardly visible at all. Below is the screenshot of my LightRoom 4.3 showing this photo at 1:1 scale... Pretty much the same kind of moire is visible when this image is exported as is at full resolution...
I wouldn't draw any conclusions at this time, but this manifestation of the moire certainly attracted my attention...
Gear diary
Two small boxes arrived from Adorama. One with Ricoh GXR Mount module and another with Voigtlander Nokton 40/1.4 classic. What a lovely combo this is. I am yet to fully master the manual focusing with the aids provided by the module, but suffices it to say - I can hit the target at wide apertures, though not always. Evidently, a practice is necessary.
In terms of convenience and ease of use - this combo is second to none. Matrix metering is very accurate. The colors and the tones of the module are lovely. It is light, it is small and the image quality is excellent.

2013 #14 - Gabrieli
Galia started with Ricoh GXR and A12-50 module today... Here is what came out...
Gear diary
Another Ricoh GXR camera body and A12-28 (APS-C sized 12 MP sensor, 18.3/2.5 lens) lens module have recently arrived. Lens has provision for the shade, but it comes without one. Other than that - it is even smaller and lighter than A12-50 module. The only functional difference between A12-28 and A12-50 is lack of macro mode. However it focuses as close as 20 cm, so it can be used for exaggerated closeup...
My first impression is that the picture quality is just as good as that of A12-50. By the way, it happens to be direct competitor (at least in terms of sensor size and focal length) to newly introduced Nikon Coolpix A.
