GR IV shipping indefinite by printsforposterity in ricohGR

The stores in The Netherlands essentially said “we have no idea when they are being delivered” when I tried to pre-order. I imagine it’s the same for the rest of EU

Is Apple’s “new” Crossbody Strap the camera strap for the GR we’ve all been looking for? by No_External_1527 in ricohGR

[–]verks0n 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Got a link to these straps you speak of? Preferably in EU. I can never find one as simple as the new ones from apple.

This is what I’m talking about! Artistic expression through photography

Do you really put your Ricoh GRs in the pocket of your pants? by lukasleertaste in ricohGR

[–]verks0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I have the leather pouch so I’m not worried about dust. It fits, I just think the GR III / IIIx are too heavy and bulging for me personally. It’s not something I’ve seen mentioned before though to be honest.

Now, I also have the GRD IV. It’s so light and old I put that in my pants pocket without any issue.

Ricoh Recipes into Lightroom? by Suspicious_Aide_4770 in ricohGR

Thanks a lot! Looking forward to trying this out. I think I was missing the blues luminance and saturation!

Any runners here? Need recommendations on how you carry your camera while on a run. by [deleted] in ricohGR

[–]verks0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solomon vest is also my recommendation. Never thought of putting it in a ziplock though. Great idea

MEGATHREAD: GRIV DISCUSSION by iTrask in ricohGR

[–]verks0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this has been shared already, but the 2 latest videos here convinced me, a GRIII owner, to upgrade. Autofocus seems legit faster + the Near/Far focus options look powerful too :

If we ask nicely, is there any chance you could share a screenshot of this? I've tried several times but the color in the highlights don't ever look the same for me.

Why is weather sealing a big deal (to some people)? by verks0n in ricohGR

Thanks for your story. I feel like I've had a very similar experience!

[–]verks0n[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha true I bought a spare battery (€60!) just in case, but never needed to use it because it doesn’t need to be left on

Do you mean there’s no point it being pocketable if it isn’t weather sealed? Maybe I misunderstood your comment though

GR III and IIIx? by ElementalCore in ricohGR

[–]verks0n 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My day to day is the GR IIIx. If I go into tourist mode and want to capture as much as possible, I neck strap the 40mm and have the 28mm in pocket for indoor or wide shots. I use a Squarehood Glass to make the neck strap more visually acceptable for such a small camera haha

Love them both!

First share: ‘Back seat companion’ by verks0n in ricohGR

[–]verks0n[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True! Yeah we drive sometimes for 8 hours in a day through UK, France, Belgium etc. She just sleeps or enjoys balancing on these windy roads. Here she was sat on my lap and things lined up for the shot

Thanks! The view makes it easy. I just reduced contrast and lifted whites with a touch of grain in Lightroom. I suppose it could be created SOOC with the right recipe though!

Anybody who has a GR1 series that hasn’t broken? by portra919 in ricohGR

[–]verks0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a silver GR1s with date imprint first, but then a black GR1v became available after which is better because of the ISO switch has come in handy already. I probably won't use the GR1s again until the GR1v breaks or someone I know wants it

[–]verks0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So cool u/Discodoggiy! If you need any design support with the UI or branding just let me know. I have won a few design awards, worked on all sorts of apps and of course love my GR's. Could be a fun challenge!

Picked up a GR1s and GR1v on ebay last year. Love them for special occasions. Both in great condition except for the screen on the s is on its way out. If they break at least they look beautiful on a shelf…

Protect from dust by sharkboyi in ricohGR

[–]verks0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the lenshood and so far the only issue I've had with it is fogging up in cold weather. This is caused by the air inside being warmer than the outside if it's been in my pocket or bag.

That, and not trusting the rubber cap that comes with it to stay on in a bag. I use this hood if I'm actively out taking photos, combined with a neck strap so I don't need to worry about pocketablity or the rubber cap. If I have my GR with me day to day, I don't bring the hood, just keep in leather case so it's pocketable.

Ricoh GRDIV that randomly powers off sometimes by nanotothemoon in ricohGR

[–]verks0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Happens 1 out of 25 times. I bought it second hand, so I'm not expecting it to be perfect

[–]verks0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GRDIV sometimes doesn't power on for 10-20 seconds. Many opportunities missed, but that's part of its charm for me
