I apologize for the delay in responding. I am showing the GM55 is no longer available so we cannot test it here. I've reached out to Godox and as soon as I hear anything, I will let you know.

Hello;
I reached out to a Sales Manager in our Pro Photo aera in our store and the Used Department and sadly we did not have all the items in house to test. Their combined opinion is they should work together.
I am sorry I do not have more conclusive information for you.

Hello;
There are a lot of variables here. The lens is a third party made to fit multiple camera systems so the variations may not be perfect but will work. The lens being Used has me thinking what the condition was from the previous owner. What you described sounds like what I encounter using the many lens adapters I own and use. Some have more play than others and the movement while attached and locked into the bayonet I experience as well. I might have the lens serviced to insure the locking mechanism is in the right place and functional as designed.

Hello; It's a great deal today. Sound recording is very much dependent on the mic placement and having the separate recorder is a great option. You will have to set the sound levels, sync the sound to your video audio so it matches (you can always lower or remove the camera audio in post) and experiment on where the best placement is.
Depending on the club, I bring my Tascam DR40 (had it for years) and record a foundation track. This way I do not have to be recording video in between the PA's for good sound. I can even go in the band area and maintain great audio. Recording audio from 2 locations and syncing them does give a nice spatial quality to the sound.
I've never had luck with shot gun mic's unless I was directly in front of the source of the audio.

Hello;
You have a few concerns to think about. Firstly you’d want a mic with a high SPL rating (sound pressure level) that will have the ability to record the loud sounds clearly. Since you’ll be in between the cars, you’ll want a mic with a pick up pattern that will record sound on either side of its location. Lastly ease of use as some options will work automatically in camera and others will require you set the sound levels manually.
In my opinion, the easiest solution would be to use the Sony ECM-B1M (BH #SOECMB1M • MFR #ECM-B1M) microphone. It has 3 pick up pattern options, has an SPL rating of 120 and will work within the Sony A7 and A9 camera body system with no need to adjust audio levels. The camera will do all the work. I use this method for my own work, my wife is a singer and performs in a live cover rock band and I use this mic with great success.
A good middle of the road option would be the Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote from Rode (BH #ROSVMPR • MFR #STEREO VIDEOMIC PRO-R). You will need to choose a camera model with mini (3.5mm) socket. Will require a 9v battery, and will need the audio levels set manually on the camera used. It has a SPL rating of 134 dB SPL.
The better option is the RODE Stereo VideoMic X (BH #ROSVMX • MFR #SVMX). This has an SPL of 143 dB SPL. The camera will need Mini XLR connections and phantom power (provides power to the mic). Here again audio levels need to be set in camera prior to recording.

Hello;
I checked and our current inventory was delivered to us this year, unfortunately we have no way of knowing a date of manufacture or assembly to confirm, I am sorry about that.
The black and silver bodies are identical and have a base retail price of $646.95 ea. Presently the silver has a more aggress manufacture sponsored instant rebate ($170.00 vs $120.00) which in most cases reflects on hand inventory. Just speculating but Ricoh may have an excess of silver body inventory and looking to move them.
Hope this helps;
Chuck

Hello;
I am sorry for the confusion.
Used items are individual pieces whose price is determined by the condition and it's quite possible that the one for $627.50 sold and then another one came in in better condition for the higher price.

Hello;
This weekends hot topic news story was the nationwide shortage of baby formula. The lack of availability of goods and services is widespread in the market and the manufacturing of film is no exception. Recently Fuji publicly announced a shortage of their popular 120 format (Medium Format) Fujichrome Velvia 50, Fujichrome Velvia 100, and Fujichrome Provia 100F emulsions. Last year Kodak's Colorado facility had to temporarily stop production of 35mm film due to a supply shortage of tin-free steel (TFS) used for the metal caps of their 35mm film canisters.
Sadly shortages in the current market is a sign of the times and there is little we or any retailer can do much about. We have PO's pending for film and hope to have it available for purchase as quickly as possible.

Hello;
Another member (h.butz) brought to my attention that you can use Pentax lenses on a Sony Mirrorless camera with an adapter.
He suggested The FotodioX Mount Adapter for Pentax K-Mount Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera
I checked our inventory and found this item.
The LA-KE1 Magic Ring Pentax K Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Adapter from Monster Adapter allows select LA-KE1-mount autofocus DSLR lenses to be used on Sony E-Mount camera bodies while retaining electronic communication and autofocus function. This adapter has a built-in AF switch, screw-drive focus motor, aperture motor, and communication and power supply contacts. It can support KAF, KAF2, KAF3, and KAF4 lenses from 1986 to the present and can automatically identify traditional screw-drive focus lenses, SDM/DC lenses with built-in motors, lenses with traditional lever-type aperture, and electromagnetic aperture lenses.

Hello;
Always a pleasure to help ! Wein MRB625 1.35V Zinc-Air Battery
BH #WE625 • MFR #W9901201
We carry this as a replacement for the PX625, PX13, and MR-9 mercury cells batteries. I've had mixed results with these batteries. Years ago Manfrotto (I believe) sold an adapter that allowed the use of current batteries in Luna Pro's and I even had an Olympus OM1's battery chamber converted to take readily available batteries. Selling the OM1 was not one of my better moments and I hope whom ever has it now appreciates just what they have as my more favored (at the time) OM2's shutters have both died. You may want to check out this Gossen post: MRB625 zinc-air batteries, which have a cell voltage of 1.35 V and are of identical shape and size as the V625PX and PX13 mercury batteries, are available from WeinCell or Exell Battery as replacements. The smaller MRB675 or PR44 hearing aid batteries can be used with a mechanical adapter as an inexpensive alternative. These batteries are activated before use by removing a protective foil, after which the electrolyte dries out within a short period of time and the battery has to be replaced again. The major disadvantage of zinc-air batteries for amateur photographers is thus their relatively short service life.

Hello;
Both can use this battery:
Power various electronics with this button cell KA76 LR44 1.5V Ultra Alkaline Battery from Kodak. It features 1.5V of output power and a nominal capacity of 120mAh. The battery is designed for devices requiring intermittent burst of high power, such as flash units for photography. An environmentally conscious choice, the battery is free of both mercury and cadmium.
