Ok, bear with me while I do some explaining.
The process I followed was to set the Fuji to "Acros+R filter" and the Ricoh to "HiBw" for shooting. There was no exposure compensation set, ISO was set similarly to auto on both cameras and metering set to spot. I didn't move between each shot (hence you can see the focal length difference in most shots between 35 and 40mm).
I then used the onboard raw converters to produce "control" colour versions of each shot, using"Provia STD" on the Fuji and "STD" on the Ricoh.
All settings used were manufacturer standard, without any tweaking.
There's a clear difference between the two cameras. The Ricoh gives a more contrasty result SOOC, perhaps unsurprisingly. It may be hard to see from these shots, but sharpness is, as you would expect, pretty much on a par.
As an aside the two "standard" settings also show marked differences, with the "Provia" overall giving a warmer result.
All of the above can be tweaked, of course, both in camera and in post to get a closer result, but I hope it gives a useful flavour.
So. Colour versions first.
In the portrait versions, the Fuji is on the left, in the landscape versions the Fuji is on the top.
Now the B&Ws...
