17.2.15

Just bought the Ricoh GR new for £400. I love this camera.

I still miss the Ricoh GR mk 2 which I carried everywhere - it was stolen a few years back. This is the latest model with a whopping 16.2MP APS-CMOS sensor with no low-pass filter; and an incredibly sharp 28mm equivalent F2.8 lens. It has image quality on par with a mid range DSLR but in a compact all metal body - ace. We'll use it on assignments alongside our Canon kit - great for environmental portraits and street stuff. Video not great, this is purely for photo. The fourth pic is Joe's desk, age 6.
