Description — Ricoh GR Lens A12 28mm F2.5
The Ricoh GXR GR Lens A12 28mm F2.5 Camera Module is a purpose-built imaging unit for the GXR modular camera system. It houses an APS-C sensor producing 12MP stills at a maximum resolution of 4288x2848 pixels. The ISO sensitivity range spans 200 to 3200, and burst shooting is supported at up to 3 frames per second.
Autofocus is handled via contrast detection, and the lens is entirely fixed — integrated directly with the sensor as part of the module's design philosophy. For video, the module records at up to 720p at 30fps. Storage is covered by SD, SDHC, and SDXC card compatibility.
There is no image stabilization — neither in-body nor digital — so steady shooting technique is important. This module is a compelling option for GXR system users looking for a dedicated wide-angle unit with a proper APS-C sensor at its heart.
