So I'm after a wide angle compact I can use in place of my XA3, Don't get me wrong I love my XA3 but the A11 flash is shit and the A16 is massive, also close focusing is 1m on the close zone. Looked through all the hipster taxed premium compacts and found the Ricoh R1, a cheaper version of the GR1 but with a 30mm lens and 24mm panorama lens. Apparently you mod the panorama frame masks off and essentially make it a full frame 24mm lens. Anyone here done this/own a R1? Would love some advice on the camera
