My last post above, with a Ricoh GRD4 image brought back nostalgia for cameras with tiny sensors. Here is a portrait taken with the earlier Ricoh GRD2 and the 40mm EFOV tele-converter, which was a heavy chunk of glass. I liked this converter although it had a tendency to flare in one of the corners in certain types of light – in this case the flare was in the bottom left, which was easy to burn in. But the flare was the reason that I sold this kit. Unfortunately, Ricoh never made another tele-converter like this one: the 75mm EFOV converter for the current GR3 crops the image from 24 to 15MP, presumably to avoid corner flare, or perhaps to reduce the weight of the lens.
