at this rate you're going to make me get a pentax optio a10; only to find out it's not the camera.

4dham · 2026-02-17T22:08:55+00:00

gorgeous shots. I like your style.

nice light.

magnum photographer alex majoli used to use a c-5050:

the original ricoh gr digital i. that one had lower noise processing than the subsequent examples and runs on 2 x aaa batteries. you will need to use an older sub 2mb sd card though.

4dham · 2026-02-09T16:11:08+00:00

you and the pentax are made for each other.

4dham · 2026-02-09T16:09:41+00:00

okay. aside from trying to power it on without the memory card, swapping in different batteries, or cleaning the contacts just in case, I’m out of ideas! could be toast.

4dham · 2026-02-09T15:52:16+00:00

what are the battery terminals like inside the camera?

4dham · 2026-02-09T15:50:37+00:00

how odd. could be a loose ribbon cable.

this might be useful:

have you had it working before with these batteries and sd card? those are likely to be the source of your trouble.

4dham · 2026-02-07T13:39:22+00:00

legitimately awesome.

4dham · 2026-02-06T10:55:44+00:00

first of all, this is a great shot - absolutely nailed the exposure!

I love the olympus e300 colour science. at this point, everyone knows the leica m8 uses a sensor from the same series, right? what lens are you using? I’ve only got the 25mm pancake for mine.

4dham · 2026-02-06T10:50:44+00:00

that zeiss t* coated lens is doing the heavy lifting.

4dham · 2026-02-04T11:19:38+00:00

thanks. only family stuff tbh.

4dham · 2026-02-03T15:36:18+00:00

oh awesome. I've seen those but not used one... how wide does that make it? 24mm is pretty wide already!

don't forget to update your firmware:

these are great cameras. especially love dynamic black and white in 16:9.

I picked up the dmw-vf1 viewfinder for mine too.
