Do i really need a FF cam ???

No Klaus, you don't. Your style is built around small sensor cameras and an abundance of DOF. Sometimes, the results are very impressive indeed. I enjoy your photos a lot. Just keep posting

There's something very special about GRDs and the way they render a scene, people talk about DP1's lens but I think that was my biggest problem with that camera. I never liked the rendering of that lens, and looking at your pictures it reaffirms my love and appreciation for the Ricoh.

So many lovely pictures in this thread! I recently bought a GRD after seeing the results on this forum. It is so pocketable and I love the results of this little camera!

Thanks for the inspiration to all.

Enter that plane...

Nice shot of the plane with boarding people.

I'm always afraid to get arrested when shooting at airports/landingstrips. Two years ago I got out of the plane in Barcelona and wanted to take a picture of the beautifull light over the runways when some of the officials stopped me. It was forbidden to take pictures..

Klaus you have a great selection of pictures in this thread! In fact you are partly responsible for me buying the GRD. Thanks!:thumbup:

kweide: I'm quite amazed by your photos, both by your vision as well as the technical quality. My own experience with the GRD was marred by a lot of chromatic aberration and purple fringes, blown out highlights, as well as occasionally murky color balance. May I ask how you shoot/process your pics? They have a really nice textured/film-like quality and smooth tones and are free of CA and purple fringes.

I've always considered the GRD to have the most soothing palette though, and your photos confirmed that thought.

Thanx to all of you. Thanx for all your sweet words and the encouragement you gave me. Thanx for the flowers.

Here are my flowers for you. GRD again

I've owned my GRD for less than a year and I love the camera.

Hi Rick,

Nice pics! Did you shoot in B&W or convert them later?

Grtz, Roel

Thanks for the kind words.

These are straight from the B&W jpg's in the camera. I then processed them through Silver Efex. However, very little was done in post processing- just normal stuff. So, this is pretty much how they came out of the camera.

I confirm. In B&W the GRD is nearly unbeatable ....and sooooo small.

Yes, that is one of the main reasons I bought the camera- because of the really nice B&W images it produces. In fact, I don't think I have processed anything I have shot with it in color. It has all been B&W.

I had pro body Nikon DSLR's that could not match the B&W images that the Ricoh produces.

Burn, burn, burn away those f... cold days... chase away all cold ghostsss...
Boy i think i had one or two beers too far...

Now I´m curious! I´ve had two GRDs and one GRD2, and I´ve found them to be noisy (visually speaking), especially the first two.
The pics I see here are of excellent quality, so I wonder; what ISO-levels are you shooting at? And; do you post-process a lot (anti-noise software?).
