Overview — Ricoh A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5

The Ricoh GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 Camera Module is a self-contained lens-and-sensor unit designed specifically for the Ricoh GXR modular camera system. Rather than separating the lens from the imaging sensor, this module integrates both into a single replaceable unit — a distinctive approach that ensures the optics and sensor are optimized together. At the heart of the module is an APS-C sensor delivering 16MP resolution, capable of producing images at a maximum of 4928x3264 pixels.

The fixed lens covers a zoom range of 24-85mm at a maximum aperture of f/3.5-5.5, offering flexibility across a range of shooting scenarios from wider environmental shots to tighter mid-telephoto framing. Autofocus is handled via a contrast detection system, which is a straightforward and reliable approach for a module of this type. Video capability tops out at 720p, making this primarily a stills-oriented tool.

The module weighs 550g and measures 114 x 75 x 93mm, giving it a substantial but manageable physical presence. Image stabilization is not present in this module, so photographers will need to account for that in handheld shooting situations. This is a purpose-built unit for existing GXR system users.

Key Features — Ricoh A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5

Description — Ricoh A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5

The Ricoh GXR A16 Camera Module combines a 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 zoom lens with a 16MP APS-C sensor into a single integrated unit for the GXR modular system. This self-contained design pairs the optics and sensor together, with images captured at up to 4928x3264 pixels. The module's contrast detection autofocus system handles focusing duties, while video recording is available at up to 720p.

Weighing 550g and measuring 114 x 75 x 93mm, the module has a solid, purpose-built feel suited to the GXR platform. There is no image stabilization present in this module — neither optical, in-body, nor digital — so users should plan accordingly. The lens mount type is fixed, meaning the lens and sensor cannot be separated.
