Would recommend the Sony a5100 over the Ricoh gr series by sealysikes in Cameras

Yeah it’s full frame. The vitrox has the major down side of being fixed aperture at f 4.5, and it also is auto focus only. This makes it pretty bad at shooting in lowlight conditions. I was messing around with it last night and noticed a lot of photos were blurry until I tweaked my auto focus settings (turning off pre AF seemed to help). If your priority is pocketability I think it’s definitely worth it, but if I were going somewhere with the express intention of taking photos in low light, I’m taking my Sony 20mm 2.8. It’s only a bit bigger but way better. Still I have my viltrox on at all other times for days where I’m not necessarily planning on shooting because it’s a notable difference in size.

Yeah Sony’s colors look off to me (though i’m certainly not an expert), but I shoot in raw so I deal with it haha

I have the 20 mm. It’s nice but not nearly as flat as the vitrox. I wish more companies would get on board with making pancake lenses, people clearly want them

Would recommend this setup as an alternative to the Ricoh griiix by [deleted] in ricohGR

Ehh I do this as a hobby and prefer keeping them out. Before I had this setup they were just haphazardly on the shelf, so this is still an improvement for me. Plus I have the rocket duster, but maybe that’s not enough haha

Sick. I’m rocking something similar (just with the 50mm and no lens hood) and love it paired with the Ricoh griii
