    Ricoh Highlight Diffusion Filter Replacing ND Filter In GRIII/x Submodels

    I think this is most likely. If the GRIII series had actually dated tech and its age was slowing, or if sales were slowing, you'd see a new iteration of the series. But Ricoh likes to make good and sure that we understand one of the stated design principles of the GR line is "we do not change...

    Ricoh Highlight Diffusion Filter Replacing ND Filter In GRIII/x Submodels

    https://www.dpreview.com/news/0569067557/ricoh-gr-iii-gr-iix-hdr-highlight-diffusion-filter Interesting development which I wouldn't have expected. An additional couple of GR cameras with the ND filter swapped out for a filter which creates something similar to a black mist/promist look in...

    https://www.ricoh-imaging.com/en/grphotofestival/2023/result.html?utm_source=rim_top_4bnrs&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=grphotofestival2023 I haven't seen a stronger collection of photos in a long time. I feel this kind of theme really encapsulates what the GR is best at.

    Ricoh Surprise! Ricoh GRIIIx (Showcase)

    I've been enjoying the look of the negative film profile lately, especially when the sun breaks through on one of the first relatively chilly fall days so far in Seattle.

    Ricoh GR Firmware update 1.80

    I agree, I don't know that there has been any camera in current production to receive as many substantive firmware upgrades in the same amount of time. Fuji got a lot of accolades years ago for their kaizen update methodology, but that has largely faded in frequency as their product line has...

    Ricoh GR Firmware update 1.80

    Also GRIIIx v.1.30. Maybe a small update but with some good quality of life enhancements. The long press of video/wireless button has been opened up to the full range of Fn options it would seem, so that is nice. I have it set to turn on wifi right now, but since the same can be accomplished in...

    I haven't updated my firmware to V1.21, last time I updated was V1.20 which added the negative film profile. I don't know if the recent firmware versions did this, but I have noticed my shake reduction causing weird things to happen, like blurred shots at shutter speeds around 1/250-1/400. Just...

    I've dropped GRIIIs several times. Never sustained more damage than a broken glass screen protector, and at least one of those times it would have been the LCD if I hadn't had the protector, so... buy a screen protector.

    I think you'll find the more robust RAWs as well as the effective IBIS will assuage your pain! Sad to lose a photographic friend, though.

    The talk of Pentax K3 III Monochrome, as well as developing and scanning some more B&W film (which was rather disappointing, my method with Rodinal didn't suit Kentmere 400 very well, especially in lighting where the LC-A was consistently picking a wide, and therefore soft, aperture value) got...

    Ricoh New GRIII "Diary Edition" Brings Silver Camera and New Negative Film Mode

    Format the card, download and unzip the file and put it inside the root (first) folder on the sd card. Then put it in the camera, hit the power button while holding down menu, and flow the prompt. ... Maybe double check me, that's from memory.

    Ricoh New GRIII "Diary Edition" Brings Silver Camera and New Negative Film Mode

    https://www.grblog.jp/en/article/6509/ This article on the excellent GR Blog goes over the new mode in a bit more detail. The inspiration behind the mode was the "new color" movement of the 1970s, which includes such heavyweights as Eggleston, Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore and others, but I'd...

    Ricoh New GRIII "Diary Edition" Brings Silver Camera and New Negative Film Mode

    Look at the somewhat faded blue, green and yellow, and overall how the image is contrasty while still having open shadows. That's kind of how I'd describe it with the short time I've had with it. I recommend upping the saturation if you want to be able to discern what the color shifts look like...

    Lightroom does not preserve the GR's JPEG profiles with DNG files. While it does support that behavior with a few manufacturers, I think it's a combination of enhanced functionality of that manufacturer's proprietary RAW format and/or Adobde considering them more high-volume manufacturers (think...

    Channeling a bit of Stephen Shore (which is something I like to do), a hotel shot. Something I like about this shot is the way the GR IIIx lets me embody the early and late Stephen Shore look at the same time. He started out with a Rollei 35, shooting the somewhat lower-fidelity color film of...

    Congrats! Here's a left-field suggestion in learning the focal length: what about pretending you have a basic SLR and a night fifty by making a point to use the IIIX in 50mm crop? Personally I had trouble with expecting the wider field of view as well, but if you could trick yourself into...

    I agree on the thumb rest - sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't. It shifts your grip somewhat, into one which is more steady but not as comfortable. I enjoy how much easier it slips into and out of a pocket without the thumb grip but when I know I will be carrying it in my hand for a longer...
