My Ricoh GX100 is now looking damn sexy now that i've eventually got the HA-2 Adapter so i can fit on the Nikon 16mm lens :)

(The viewfinder seems to be a similar wide angle to the lens so works well as a true viewfinder)

Side view...
To attach the Lomography Ringflash, i'm using the adapter for the Lomo Fisheye2 camera. It covers the tripod hole in the Ricoh GX100 so what i'm going to do is make a hole in the adapter so i can bolt it on so that it's solid!
Surprisingly, the ringflash actually fits the GX100 BETTER than it does to the Lomo LC-A and Holga lol!Ricoh GX100, Ricoh HA-2, 43>46mm Step-up Ring, Nikon 16mm WC-EC8 Wide Angle Lens, Mirage 400 (old skool flash)
In order to get the Nikon lens to fit the Ricoh HA-2 adapter I had to get a 43 to 46mm step up ring. It's a beautiful lens, I got it for a bargain £32 from ebay. It is very heavy - probably about the same weight as the camera.
It manages to give a superwide image but keeps lines relatively straight - impressive stuff! It does however give some vignetting in the corners when on full wide zoom. I dont mind this though - can add a bit of character to pics.
If you zoom in a little bit though, the vignetting dissapears.
Here's an example of the vignetting ....
Seemingly I can take a metal file to the back of the Nikon lens to take 2mm off the rim and take 2mm off the HA-2 hood which brings the Nikon lens closer to the Ricoh lens and gets rid of the vignetting. Bit of a scary task though.

Thats not vignetting thats where the image isnt big enough to fill the sensor! I get this on my 8mm.
I am mighty impressed with your setup, getting all that to fit together so well is brilliant. The photo above looks sharp enough in the corners too. Nice work McGuyver.

All the lomo stuff really suits the styling of the Ricoh, im mighty chuffed.
Like i said above - the lomo ringflash actually fits the ricoh better than it does any of the lomo cameras!What kind of 8mm lens have you got?
- Peleng 8mm f3.5. Its made in Belarus and I bought it out of a car boot. I love it. few pics from it here http://www.jamiespho…slappy
