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.

The GR does more than enough so why bother with anything else. It’s the fastest and easiest camera to shoot on the street with, and also happens to be theContinue reading “Digital Street Photography”
