Ricoh XR Rikenon 50mm f2.0 (リコーのXRリケノン) a Japanese cult lens! On paper this lens doesn't sound too impressive, but after doing some research I found out that this lens is known as the "Japanese Summicron" (貧者ズミクロン). According to a Japanese photography magazine from back in the days this lens was sharper than the famous Leica Summicron. This got me really interested so I bought this Rikenon for only 11 euro. Unfortunately I don't have a Summicron to compare it to, so I decided to compare it with my two other favorite nifty-fifties; the Minolta MD 50 1.7 and the Pentax-M 50 1.7
Camera: Full frame Sony A7 iii
Filming location: Delft, the Netherlands, Hoek van Holland beach

Excellent comparatif! significatif, merci bien! 👍 Excellent comparison! meaningful, thank you very much!

Amazing that the Rikenon is better at f8 than BOTH a Pentax M AND a Minolta MD, both of those lenses have very good reputations. I'm guessing this Rikenon XR was probably produced by Tomioka but I doubt anybody really knows. Thanks!

Thanks for watching, stopped down the Rikenon is really impressive indeed

Great research and review regarding these lens 😃 Enjoy your day and keep up the good work

@robert18productions Год назад

I heard that rikenon lenses were great for their price. I never knew that this lens was said to rival the Summicron. This lens has some great contrast and sharpness. I will have to pick one up. Great video!

Hi, thanks for watching. I wasn't aware that these lenses were any good. But it all got very interesting when I put some Japanese website's through Google translate :)

@robert18productions Год назад

@@ohjajohh I mostly heard about Rikenon lenses being great from the positive reviews on RU-vid for the Auto Sears (Rikenon) 55mm f/1.4. It seems that Ricoh rebranded lots of their Rikenon lenses and cameras under the "auto sears" names. Also I have read that there are rumors that some of the early Rikenon lenses were also manufactured by Tomioko the same manufacturer that produced Zeiss lenses and the cult classic Tomioka 55mm f1.2.

I used to do photography when I was younger. I have many lenses Manufacturers: Ricoh, Canon, Pentax I'm now a GoPro😅😅 被写体が素敵です👍👍💕❣

This was awesome! Thank you for the comparison!

I bought a rikenon 50mm F2, not the XR version.I love the color, and I love vintages not for sharpness but for the dreamy bokeh and color rendering. It is 30 usd, and one of my best favorites ever, rivals even with Zeiss and Voitglander albeit with cheaper price.

In 2019 I bought Ricoh XR 7 with Rikenon XR 50 f2.0. I sold it because my pentax smc m 50mm f.1.4 have better image quality and far better build quality (is awesome made). I read that Rikenon XR 55 mm f1.2 is better that Pentax 50mm 1.2 but I don't test it yet.

@ohjajohh 4 месяца назад

Interesting, I didn't even know Rikenon had made an f1.2 lens. I just looked it up, but it's a bit too pricey for me 😅

Excellent and thorough comparison. I agree entirely with your conclusions. I really love the Rikenon’s star flares in the night shots. So clean.

@ohjajohh Год назад

Thanks, the star flares are quite nice indeed. I think this lens would also be perfect for time-lapse movies at night

@timskinnercanada Год назад

@@ohjajohh Absolutely! Definitely worth a try.

@timskinnercanada Год назад

@@ohjajohh Turns out I have one of these but it’s the “P” version rather than the “XR” version. Not sure what that means. Guess I’ll have to try it out. Not sure it’s ever been on my camera. :)

@ohjajohh Год назад

@@timskinnercanada Cool! As this is my first ever Rikenon lens I also have no clue about the difference between "XR" and "P" but it's worth a try for sure

@timskinnercanada Год назад

@@ohjajohh It does appear to have the same distinctive point light flares. Sort of an anamorphic vibe. Thanks for prompting me to dig out the mysterious big old box of fifties. :)

Sorry I'm a bit late catching up with this one ohjajohh - as always, a really good video, and very interesting to see how differently the Ricoh lens performs in mid aperture ranges - like you, I probably prefer the others wide open, but around the f8 mark the Ricoh lens seems way better. Weirdly enough, in the early 80s I bought a Ricoh XR-X with a 50mm kit lens attached.....that I immediately replaced with something like a 24 - 70 or thereabouts! Not sure if my 50mm will be the same as yours, but I still have it, so I'll dig it out and have a look when I get the chance.

@ohjajohh Год назад

Hi Tim, you don't have to be sorry for watching a video late :) It would be interesting to see which lens was on your old Ricoh camera and how it performs. As this lens only shines stopped down, I will use it only for timelampses and landscape photography. For every other purpose I prefer different lenses.

@GrumpyTim Год назад

@@ohjajohh Yeah, I do remember digging my Ricoh lens out a few years ago (I never put it on a camera at that time) and thinking that it didn't have that lovely silky feel of the older, all metal lenses, that I'm now so used to using. I keep a Chinon 28mm f2.8 on one of my Lumix cameras as the default lens and it just feels perfect - and for video it produces a great image too.

@denisrandomtech5822 Год назад

For 11$ its superb. It is a weird lens though. It seems that coatings are not superb so against the sun it loses contrast. But in other situations it was probably better than the Pentax. And the sunstars effect (city lights) was nice.

@ohjajohh Год назад

Thanks for watching. In some situations this lens performs outsanding, and in other situations it performs badly. Overall it's a nice lens to have, but I wouldn't pick it as my daily lens.

Heb je interesse om een range aan Canon FD 35mm's te testen? (F2 SSC Concave, chrome-nose concave non-SSC, SSC Convex, nFD F2.8, en F3.5 SC.) Ik woon redelijk in de buurt van je gebruikelijke filmlocaties.

Hoi, bedankt voor je reactie en het aanbod. De komende periode heb ik andere plannen, maar misschien is het wel leuk om in de zomer te doen :)
