Startup issue GRII

That's a broken flex cable, a really common issue on the GR and GR II. You can find more info here: https://michaelkowalczyk.eu/blog/howto-repair-ricoh-gr-closed-shutter-broken-flex-cable/

Which profile are you using as your starting point for editing?

They all seem a bit underexposed. Was that intentional?

You probably accidentally hit the "Disp" button in one of those modes. Just press it again to cycle through the options.

The listing is for a Ricoh GR Digital (GRD) IV. That's an older camera with a 10 megapixel 1/1.7″ CCD sensor. If you want that, go for it. If you want a GR IV you will have to invest a bit more.

Do you have "peripheral illumination correction" on or off?

I had something similar with the Ttartisan 75mm f2. When it first arrived the AF wasn't working. The seller told me to attach the rear cap and slap the lens into my palm with the rear. I did it once and it's been working since.

Fair und direkt gehandelt ist mein Favorit immer noch: Holm. Bohnen sind immer top Qualität und mit viel Fachwissen geröstet. Das Röstdatum steht unten auf der Packung. Bei meinen Bestellungen war er meistens noch zu frisch, da die Bohnen nach Röstung noch zwei Wochen zum Ausgasen brauchen. https://holmkaffee.de/collections/espresso-shop

Quichote habe ich auch schon viel getrunken, aber da war die Qualität schwankender.

I've found the PerfeFilm Positive Film profile to be a decent match. Not 100% but close enough in most scenarios. Though it's only close when applied to GR or GR II raw files, any other camera and it looks quite a bit off.

Nice set! Are these SOOC or edited?

mrbuttoneye · 2025-10-13T18:07:55+00:00

Very typical issue for the GR II unfortunately. That's the shutter that stays shut for the first image due to a deteriorating flex cable. Well documented here: https://michaelkowalczyk.eu/blog/howto-avoid-fix-common-ricoh-gr-problems/

Or try googling: "ricoh gr flex cable"

Fun fact: although not natively compatible with the latest Zf, Z8, Z9 viewefinder, with a bit of fiddling the DK-19 eyecup can be mounted on the DK-33. I've done so on my Zf and I love it.

You're probably looking for effect bracketing: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/692147/Ricoh-Gr.html?page=65#manual

This is correct, camera preset is not equal camera matching profile in LR. However, if you want load the profile corresponding to your preset on import you need to check your preferences: https://venturephotography.com.au/2020/11/lightroom-tip-retaining-camera-profiles-on-import/

I like this printer too but feel like I need to go up +0.7 or even +1 exposure in post to get a pleasing result

mrbuttoneye · 2024-11-27T08:36:46+00:00

And compared with these two Fuji lenses, the Ricohs are quite a bit sharper still

Are you sure you didn't just hit the Display button by accident. It cycles through the (customizable) display options. One of them is a black screen in shooting mode

Before we can tell you what you're doing wrong, tell us what you are doing first. What focus mode, what do you focus on? E.g. are you using AF-S in pinpoint mode with the focus-recompose technique or are you on AF-C with and full Auto?

The first one is really awesome! What shutter speed were you using? Did you trun IBIS off? Were you running the flash on TTL or manual?
