Ricoh GR II: 1/60th sec f/4.0 @ ISO 400 I haven’t written an article on the Ricoh GR in a very long time. I’ve been shooting with the Ricoh GR series since 1998 and it’s helped shape my style of photography. The ability to capture images with the confidence of a full sized camera with unique features and functions that could only be had with a compact camera makes the Ricoh GR a very powerful photographic tool. I’ve owned many cameras as a professional and enthusiast photographer, but my favourite images were always taken with compact EDC (Every Day Carry) cameras. I have experimented with other compact cameras over the years but I’ve always felt at home with the Ricoh GR. I’m not saying it’s the best, but it’s what I’m use to. I ‘get it’ when people equally praise their beloved Contax T2, Nikon 35Ti, Minolta TC-1, Rollei 35, Olympus XA, Yashica T4, Konica Big Mini, etc. If I bought any of those cameras instead of my Ricoh GR-1 back then perhaps I would be singing a different tune toda
