Ricoh The Ricoh GR image thread

post #178 I love. I'd print that one and hang it in a sunny corner.

Love this one, it has a very surreal look to it...

Haven't been shooting in a while sometimes when I review them in LR4 the SOOC seems so pleasing

Nice pics - can't believe you have Speculoos spread in Southern California!

The Reflective Eye

Trying once again with the GR. I found an old Helios vf to try with. I'm not sure if this particular copy is metering correctly, it seems to brighten over the focus point whatever metering mode it's in.

Dropped by lovely Manhattan Beach today wasn't too crowded either.

Very nice Darth

Thanks I'm starting to get a hang of the 28mm and amazed by how flexible this GR especially.

Here are some more random snaps during the last week with this amazing camera...

This is a marvelous B&W camera, it simply renders the best monochrome images ive gotten from any camera ive personally used. It gets that "film" "cinematic" or any other adjective that might say "non digital look" but it also renders quite nice colors, or so i think.

This camera have set the bar quite high in how i "look" and "what to expect" from "serious" "pro" "amateur" "street" bla bla cameras from now on.

Which b & w setting are you using? I find just plain black and white nicer than the high contrast in the GR whereas I like the high contrast in the GXR.

Beautiful photos from everyone here Is anyone using a viewfinder and if so which?

I have the small 28˚ Ricoh VF mounted all the time but only use it maybe 5% of the time, it just easier to leave it mounted than not know where it is on those rare times that I need it. The Ricoh while not cheap is very nice and very small, they also make one that does both 21˚ and 28˚ but it is much larger. Always felt too big on the GR unless you have the 21 attached
small 28K only

21˚/28˚

Which b & w setting are you using? I find just plain black and white nicer than the high contrast in the GR whereas I like the high contrast in the GXR.

I just created a B&W preset on the camera, tweaking the contrast and all that in camera, the HC preset is amazing in camera but when seeing the images in the computer it feels too much for my taste. So i just use the plain black and white with some tweaks, cant remember exactly what tweaks as i dont have the camera right here with me.

And about the VF question, No, i dont use a VF for it, they are too expensive for what they are (or so i believe). plus the back LCD is so damn good. But as like with most LCD doesnt matter if they 500k dots or 10mpx ones, when shooting in open daylight they are hard to see.

Received today and managed a few quick grabs on the bike ride tonight. Really fun to have a Ricoh again... hope we will see a new mount, GXR, or fixed 50mm GR from them.
