Will mainly use the GR III, but wanted to have something on the long end just in case. The GRIII will have the TTArtisans 28mm hotshoe viewfinder on it for those times the sun is too much for that rear LCD. Used the new Negative Film picture control for the whole day. Quite like it...very...

https://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/japan/products/gr-3/special/diary/index.html (Google/Bing etc. translate the page well) There's a little more info now on the China-special limited edition (which sounds like it will make its way to other markets). Personally I think it's a very handsome camera...

Scored one of the refurb GRIIIx in the recent sale. So far liking the simplicity. About the only thing I really DIDN'T know is I'm not seeing a way to change the AF point location other and taping the screen. Guess I need to read another few pages of the manual. Getting some samples, but...

Anyone add the Thumb grip their GR? Or one of the stick on filters for dust? I think I've also seen something about using the GA-1 Lens Adapter and a filter. An other accessories worth considering?

These tend to sell out fast, but, for the moment, Ricoh Imaging US is offering refurb GR IIIx for $749: GR IIIx - REFURBISHED - Ricoh

Yes, it's our old friend the Angel of Lens Testing once again, but this time things are a little different... I have deliberately obfuscated the EXIF data, which would have given the game away. What I would like you to do is play "Spot the Difference" with a twist. Tell me if you can why the...

Well now, what to make of this? Ricoh CEO announced that the company is "renewing the camera business" by moving away from mass production and distribution to a direct-to-consumer model for Pentax DSLRs and Ricoh GR, along with more of a "workshop-like" manufacture, whatever that means...

https://us.ricoh-imaging.com/product-category/black-friday/ This probably won't last much longer, but that's a dang good price for a brand new FF DSLR.

What FF equivalent focal length would it be? The could make a wider one (20 mme) or a longer one (90 mme). The long one would create a trinity of GRs, 28, 40, and 90, which would be similar to the so-called prime trinities for ILCs. I bet there would be less total weight than many of them, of...

So I had time to have a little play today with the two cameras and the "Angel of Lens Testing" - this is a memorial statue in the Holy Trinity churchyard in Guildford. Both cameras were set identically - aperture priority at f2.8, Vivid, with focus on the face of the statue. I focused and...

370 million voxels :) リコー、現実空間に全方位映像を投影する装置　デジタルサイネージ用途で開発　2022年度中の実用化目指す Ricoh Co., Ltd. announced on March 8 that it will develop a projection device that can project omnidirectional images in real space and start market exploration under the "WARPE" brand. First of all, it is seeking...

I got this one (the GR II) as a present, used of course. In good condition - almost perfect. There is a dust spot on the sensor - only one so far. I haven't used a point and shoot camera since I traded my Samsung NX1000, 5 years ago, so it feels like back to beginnings, in a way. I don't have a...

I thought this recent interview with Alfa Romeo was pretty interesting. Ricoh/Pentax has said it before, but they are doubling down on manufacturing not for the masses, but for serious hobbyists and those who know what they want. I think the GR III success has cemented this strategy for them...

A few street images from walking around yesterday. There's a definite influx of tourists again, and as a local I have mixed feelings, even more mixed than usual this year with Corona-concerns. Sticking to the open air and not touching much most likely keeps me safe, but I feel for business...

Well, call me foolish for buying an 11-year-old camera with a tiny sensor, but after years of admiring from a distance the photos which Wouter Brandsma, Josh White (aka jtinseoul) and occasionally Eric Kim have taken or used to take with this little Ricoh, I couldn't resist when I found one in...

Ricoh is making an announcement regarding the rumored APS-C flagship at their event on the 21st. Even includes what looks like a prototype photo. I'm cautiously optimistic. TOKYO, September 20, 2019－RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD. is pleased to announce a preview showing of the PENTAX K mount...

Lots of photos below. I took this roll of HP5+ early this year in Portland Oregon, and it took me a long time to get around to doing anything with it, since I wanted to teach myself to develop B&W myself. Which I did, going the easy route of monobath developer. Happy with how some of these shots...

Any other Thetanauts* here? Share your photos! These two images are from the same original photo Long Branch, NJ by John Flores, on Flickr Long Branch, NJ by John Flores, on Flickr * I just made that up.

Going to San Fransisco in September this year and want to leave my heavier camera gear at home. I do not want to look like a tourist. What I would like to know from this forum what do you think about aquiring an Ricoh GR camera. Being a fixed 28mm equiv lens would it be OK for cityscapes etc...

Hi there! Looking for some input from forum members. Going to San Fransisco in September of this year and would like to leave my heavier cameras at home and I don't really want to look like a tourist. I was thinking about purchasing a Ricoh GR 11 Camera. Do you think it would be a good idea for...

This is one of those things in life that I simply don't understand. This is a section in one of the biggest bookshop/stationers in the UK. I freely admit that I can't see the "entertainment" in reading about other peoples miserable lives, battered wives, orphaned children...

...with apologies to Jazzie B and the rest of Soul 2 Soul ;0) So. This is my usual weapon of choice for funtime street shooting. No plastic, no batteries, no artificial aids, no safety net. Just brass and glass. If I get it right I have only myself to praise. If I get it wrong, I have...

Pure and simple. Edward Weston, are you listening...?

This is about as "found" a "still life" as I think you can get... It is a manhole cover outside a shop in Guildford, Surrey, England. The passage of many feet over the years has pressed the metal down onto the frame underneath to create the Union Jack impression. I composed...

Another still-life, sorry. The calendar was my grandfather's. The propelling pencil belonged to my mother. It's GPO-issue. It has a big knob on the end to use on rotary dial 'phones. She ran a telephone exchange in the 1950s. The note pad is from a hotel in Singapore. The 'phone... can you...

Driven a couple of hundred miles today. Started early, got home late. All day customer meeting... in Birmingham. Sometimes when I'm stressed I play with this. It's a 5-string bass - sinistral. The lowest string is deep enough to make small dogs within a 100-yard radius lose all bowel...

With apologies to Rene Magritte... ;0) I have had 2 or 3 goes at this one. I knew the effect I wanted to achieve, but this is the first that I have been happy with.

I was away last night, got home late tonight. I've had this idea for a while, but decided to make it real this evening. I have size 14 feet, whilst my beloved has size 5... She doesn't wear these all the time, btw...

Hello. Sorry I'm late with yesterday's assignment. I'll do lines to make up. This one may need explaining to non-UK readers... "Focus DoItAll" (known in our household as "Focus Buggerall") was a DIY store that went under last year. The shadow left by the sign seems...

The two men circled the table of books, each watching the other as they moved. Hunt - peck - select - discard... The game went on. Neither had a clear advantage... so much to choose from... but neither would back down until one had found that special copy of Thomas the Tank Engine...

Time for another still-life. These wooden bowls are everywhere in the Canary Islands. They pack flat then concertina out when you get them home - the ideal keepsake. By the time you read this these two will be mixed into a cake; it's one of those days.

Some days it all just gets a little too much. Some days you just want to be alone, with your thoughts. You want the world to stop bothering you. Staring into space, staring into yourself, holding back the night.

Many miles travelled, many miles to go. Running on empty...

Ok, so maybe you have to be a Pink Floyd fan (or at least aware of their back catalogue) to get today's paronomasiac title pun. The juxtaposition just amused me - a bit.

I must have been off my trolley when I took this. Aisle be carted away in no time, you'll see - just another basket case... To be fair this is a rare sight; my local Waitrose is so efficiently run that a build-up of trollies in the car park is almost unheard of. Walk - stand - capture -...

This is a bench on my front porch. Last night as I was taking the dog for, those with pets know, the porch light effect on the bench caught my attention for the first time. Hey, it SIJ right? So my plan for the today's image was to photo my bench in this light.

This is a palm in my garden (not a lot of time again today). I thought I had killed it about 18 months ago, but it has sprouted again. As long as it survives the frosts it should be quite a sight come the Summer.

It has been rankling with me that I haven't put up a people shot yet. Meet my Son, James. He is 18, going to art college, with a lovely girlfriend and an interview for a new job on Tuesday. He is also massively hung over, having celebrated a friend's birthday last night. We had just...

Funny thing memory. It seems so real, so close, then it fades. These words will fade too, in time. But not just yet...

There is something that I find quite disturbing about this statue. It has echoes of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis", and of Olympian achievement, but there are also dark echoes of events in the 1930s. It dominates the area in which it stands - you can't ignore it.

This is a common sight on the streets of the UK at the moment. Shops that have not survived past Christmas. Hawkins Bazaar specialised in "stocking fillers" and toys and didn't have a good enough December. What makes this personal is that my son had a job with them. In six weeks...
