Lately I seem to be clicking straight to this section of this great forum . . . .
To be 100% honest:
- In the past I simply overlooked the Ricoh GR D III/IV line for some odd reason, maybe its US marketing. Ricoh is not "in your face" as other manuf. and less chat on various forums. The more I look into, the more I LOVE the Ricoh GR D platform. Its like a Manufacture actually listens to its end user/audience = weird, but Very WOW !!! Thank you Ricoh. Well, I guess you can call me a newb fanboy of Ricoh. Never thought the company I use to print/copy TPS reports on would be my camera company.
Reason for this post: Fellow addicts, I mean enthusiasts, can only relate. Like a place where you go for those mandatory meetings
I've been trying to set mental reminders to resist the temptation to buy lenses for any ILS setup and get my ___ together to buy a Ricoh GR D IV.
Some things that seem to help:
- Changed my desktop image at work to a tiled Ricoh GR D IV to remind myself. . . .
- Asked a co-worker to remind me every time he sees me roaming eBay for lenses or other misc. crap.
- Posted on a this forum about my odd behavior. Maybe normal to everyone here
Saving some $$$ and sticking with a proven platform or wait and :
* Tempted to buy the Ricoh GR D III, but I like IS/IBIS and the "to be reviewed" AF speed increase sounds tempting. I know for sure I wont be disappointed with the Ricoh GR D III, but Im trying to follow the "Buy Once, Cry Once" saying and hold out for the newest tech. . . . . and I know "Its the Indian not the arrow", something like that
Gosh, I hate waiting for new releases . . .
I think I need to go take some photos at lunch in DTLA to ease my "greed", I mean "needs".
Thanks for reading, coffee wearing off. Need a RedBull
