I brought my Ricoh GR in 2015, and imagine my surprise when Olivier asked me to do a feature about me using the camera……because I got it because of him !. 🙂 He had a Ricoh GR ebook back then that was the last piece in pro/con debating that enforced my decision of owning one.
Back then I was desperate to find a camera with discrete look, compact size, and great output, so I got a second hand Ricoh GR. Ever since the first time I played with it I totally fell in love.
The Ricoh GR does not have the best technology to offer in photography, like video and others but I have 100% synchronisation with it. The way it works is just right for me. There is nothing I don't like about this camera because I learn how to compensate it. Metaphorically, I can't blame DJ if I suck at dancing, eh? 😉
Alright, enough talking, I just wanted to show you what I made with a Ricoh GR in my hands….. and of course my eyes (that almost sounds dirty…! ). A year with my GR!. There are mix of colours and B/W to give good measure what is capable with a Ricoh GR.

Yes Olivier, there is much to say for a camera that just does what you want it to do – take pictures.
Which GR is this?
One thing I really loved is leaf-shutter and flash sync. That empowers me outdoor with minimum weight.
