Something different, and in the interest of keeping the thread going.

Nice, thorkil. Like the tonality and the last one, in particular. The portrait on the wall pulls it together for me. A little irony, too, I suppose, with the photograph being the only one engaged with the photographer.

General question for GR users. Has this camera changed the way you shoot? It has for me.

28mm is fairly new to me, having always preferred 35 or 50. But I'm enjoying trying to get closer and fill the frame. I would say it has emboldened me. It has also made me much more attentive to figure groups and setting, as opposed to individual subject. Both are welcome changes, I feel. And I'd say the GR has opened me to a much freer way of shooting, with less concern for technicals and more for expression, if that makes any sense.

I have not touched my Nex 7 kit since getting the GR, but I'm reluctant to part with it. As a last-ditch experiment I just bought the new black Sony 50 1.8 and am going to give carrying them both a try. 28mm and 75mm seems like a good combo. I'd love to see Ricoh offer a 50mm GR.

just in a hurry...therefore just 3 sec. tweaks at this from another exhibition today



John, yes it has. And no it hasn't(which Means YES still), while it has sometimes let my dreams come through (together with the GRIV) in a way perhaps no other camera has done before, but I'll have to explain tomorrow...will hurry down in the living room
