Ricoh GRiii Revived

GRs are known for their fragility. Specifically the lens mechanism. It will freeze and the only way to fix it is to remove the battery. I’ve returned three brand new GRs that did this shortly after purchase. Recently I noticed this only happening with my current GR when using third party batteries. Now I only use the Ricoh batteries and haven’t had the problem since. GR is back.

Keep It Simple

Minimal camera gear. Set the camera to easily capture what you want. Point, click. Move on.

I watched a video about a persons (I can’t remember who) minimal street photography kit. It was a medium size bag filled with gear. Of course there were affiliate links for every item in the description.

My minimal kit is the camera and an extra battery. I don’t think I’ve ever used more than two fully charged batteries on a photo walk.
