What type of photography do you do with your Ricoh GR?👇
Everything except street! Scenic, family …
Mostly environmental portraits, street and family candids
@@JeffJacquesmd Portraits? Are you satisfied with the speed at which it focuses on faces? (in other words, how quickly does the facial recognition lock on to the person's face? THANK YoU!
The guy I bought the camera from gave me 7 batteries off rip LMAO. It eats up like crazy but I love it sm. One of my favorite cameras ever.
Yeah that’s the price to pay for power in a small form factor I go out with three in my pocket at least.
I’ve found the wrist strap more comfortable and useable on the lower strap hole.
Oh cool post it here if you have a link
My GRiii x should arrive tomorrow - it replaces my original GRiii that I completely trashed over the last three years.
I used the JJC filter, but it smashed, and when I tried to remove the ring, the front of the lens housing came away - I attempted to repair it myself, but I didn't do a great job, and over the next couple of years it collected so much dust that spotting images became ridiculous.
This time around I plan to use the filter, a bag, a lens cap, tape, protective skins and everything - like you said, it's not as strong as it looks at first glance.
And, if I need to remove the filter again, I'll make double sure I use the fishing wire and not a pocketknife!
Sorry to hear that. I also trashed mine. So lesson learned.
Thankyou. GRIII and predecessor owner. I have most of the stuff you recommend plus the thumb grip and the Ricoh OVF (great for very strong Sun eg Aus). But many thanks as that case is what I always wanted as the metal lens cap is a bit large for the Rich leather case.
My issue with the OVF is that you don’t know if you are in focus or not. So I don’t use it often for that reason.
@@GastonShutters Good point! When I take scenes I set snap to infinity or trust it to focus and press the button.
Yeah. I stopped using it after ruining a few shots
I take it you recommend covering the mic. and speaker ports to prevent water ingress. Is this correct? I wonder if this is necessary, given that none of the buttons or dials are sealed. These are great little cameras; I've had a few, including the small sensor ones they used to make. I myself have not had a problem with dust on the sensor, at least not that I've noticed, although many others have. Another accessory that is useful with this camera is a thumb grip that fits into the hotshoe. I have one on mine, and it still fits in the leather case, although its the GC-5 case, which is different from the ones you use. I find the thumb grip improves the ergonomics substantially.
I am traumatized. I dropped one in the sand once and ruined it. Probably not needed but it doesn’t bother me to have the holes covered.
@@GastonShutters I hear ya. One time, years ago, I was on vacation on the Oregon coast, first day of vacation. I was shooting an OM1, a film camera, and made the mistake of loading a roll of film while on the beach. First shot of my vacation and I jammed the camera. I thought I was being careful, but some grit blew into it and that was it! Sand and cameras don't mix.
Oh no! They don’t mix!
Nice watch 🎉
I love it
I have the GR3x and use it with a 49mm UV filter on the GA-2 adapter. This protects the retracting lens barrel and the lens itself - there are several elements going in and out on the front of this camera. The filter you suggest has the benefits of being cheap and compact, but is glued to the lens element only and won't protect the outer barrel. The GA-2 and filter is bulky and significantly detracts from the compactness of the GR3, but offers more protection. I don't know where the dust paths are on this camera and where to add protection.
Hey thanks for sharing. I know exactly what you are talking about. I went with the glued version because it doesn’t add any weight. The UV filter also comes with a removal tool. If it breaks easy to replace it. But definitely this camera can use some better weather sealing.
I find it kinda pointless to use the adapter and filter route. The GR was meant to be pocketable. It is impossible to fully seal the GR because if you dig through old forum posts, someone has done a teardown revealing dust entering via the top scroll wheel. It will keep entering and collecting in there, until the rubber gasket that seals your sensor from dust breaks or comes lose when the glue fails, and dust will fall on the sensor. The lens mechanism is entirely isolated from the sensor, so no dust can enter the sensor via the lens, except getting stuck inside the lens elements. The stick on filter prevents that from happening and also prevents the leaf mechanism from breaking. I've seen too many people break it from slight touch and bumps.
@professionalpotato4764 still perfectly pocketable. The lens tends to collect dust easily because it has many cavities opened and the UV filter takes care of that and makes it easier to clean.
@@GastonShutters Not with the GA-2 adapter mentioned by Stewart. Maybe jacket pocketable, but I think the GR was meant to fit in jeans or pants. I use the UV filter too and it's been great.
@@professionalpotato4764 that’s the adapter for the tele converter ?
by chance you know if dust is expelled from the lens cleaning feature?
i wanted to cover the microphone and speaker too, but not sure if that means trapping the potential dust inside
prolly just overthinking, will enjoy the camera nonetheless ^_^
Maybe overthinking heheheh
Hey Gaston. Do you use a mist filter. I’m looking for one for night photos with the GRIiix. Would you recommend a 1/8 or 1/4?
I do not. But I found a kit on Amazon. Search for mist filter Ricoh GRiii
If you remove the uv filter the glue is a stack ?
Easy to remove. It comes with a tool to remove it to ensure you remove everything.
5:42 what bag is that? Tk u
Peak Design 3L bag
Thanks for this video, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Where is the list of products you mention in the video?
glad you did
I find a thumb rest makes holding my GR more comfortable.

Yeah at first I thought it was a bad idea. I tried it a while back ago on my x100v no I put them in every camera I can.
What’s the purpose of covering the microphone and speaker with tape?
Dust protection as it can end up in the lens.
@@GastonShutters oh I see thanks
Anytime
Never mind - found them. 😂
I'm doing my research on the GR iii, and it seems like a paradox. The point of an every-day, street camera is that you can bring it anywhere, but it seems like a drop of water or sand will render it completely useless. The fact you have to sacrifice functionality with tape, and are constantly worried if you'll damage the screen make me pass hard on it. What a shame, because the image quality and size is amazing.
Agreed.
