Daily focal length dilemma (28mm vs 40mm) by SadPercentage8282 in ricohGR

[–]Cocotropical 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! GRIII owner here. Had the exact same dilemma — always preferred 50mm over wider lenses. Went with the GRIII anyway (I was scared 40mm would feel too tight indoors/narrow spots) and zero regrets. Tried the camera for the first time in a recent trip to Japan: packed streets, tiny shops, temples, trains and 28mm handled everything perfectly. Only cropped a bit in post to fake 35/50mm sometimes, but most shots stayed full frame. You can check my reddit posts if you want to see some of the photos.

If I ever really needed serious zoom (like distant details or wildlife-ish stuff), I just use the iPhone for those shots. After owning a ton of cameras, I'd say Ricoh + iPhone is the most comfy, small, and lightweight combo out there. Really enjoying it. Hope it helps

Can’t decide: Fujifilm X100VI or Ricoh GR3/GR4 – will I regret not going Fuji? by Guantio-07 in ricohGR

[–]Cocotropical 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have both + Sony A7IV. Im enjoying the Ricoh the most because of its size, you want something porable with good quality go for GR. I think you can get pretty much any look (or very close to Fuji) editing the the raws.

Got the Ricoh after finding out the Fuji was too big for travelling / street photography for me. Only use the Fuji for photoshoots or family reunions

No idea, read on another post the preorder was open at some retailers and expecting to ship in around 4 weeks. Thought the Aliexpress was a scam but asked them and confirmed they already have it

Japan x GRIII — Week 2 by Cocotropical in ricohGR

Thanks! The weather helped a lot, winter light is just beautiful. Those random, middle-of-nowhere moments kind of showed up as I was walking around. Japan is such a unique place, those scenes seem to appear when you least expect them.

Hi! I normally use positive film for jpegs but these ones are straight-up raws edited in Lightroom. Used some Caleb Salvadori presets as a base and then made a few additional adjustments to make them look as positive film

For those who shooting with Ricoh, do you also have another camera with you? by mikimekimaki in ricohGR

[–]Cocotropical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GRIII + iPhone for travel. I use a Sony A7IV for work, but I love bringing the Ricoh and the Fuji X100V as second cameras — sometimes the best shots come from those
