GR users - Has anyone tried the wide angle converter?
Quote from James Warner on April 21, 2021, 1:15 amI am using my GR more and more nowadays. It's such a simple system. It just works. It's compact and easy to bring wherever I go. By itself it is perfect, but I have recently been experimenting with Ricoh's addons like the filter adapter, which works great. Adding filters opens up a bunch of other creative shots for me.
Now I have been looking at the 21mm wide angle converter. From what I can tell from samples and reviews it doesn't seem to affect sharpness, that is, the lens is just as sharp with it on. It looks a bit bulky but that is a given. Really the reason I haven't jumped on it already is the price. Even though it seems really well designed I have a problem paying so much for a wide angle converter...
Has anyone here tried one? Any thoughts? Thanks ahead of time.
