Just bought Ricoh GR Digital

[isorgb]

Arrived to me first generation Ricoh GRD with wide convertion lens 21mm (GW-1), adapter and hood (GH-1) and viewfinder (GV-1).
All is like new in box. Shutter count is only 350.
I bought all for 200$, I think this is good price.

I did not think that camera is such small and light.

Below my first "tests" from 21mm, I never used such a wide angle. Very interesting, very very.

My new camera is ready.

It's a very nice old digital. One of the few digital camera that has a look to it that makes it worth owning even though it is "outdated."

I had one for a spell last year and liked it for B&W. I wish they made the same with a 35 or 40mm lens.

Favorite compact digital ever...pity it died a horrifying death in explosive fashion. Still have whats left of the lens assembly somewhere.

Congrats on the purchase. Mine is the GRD3 and I love it to bits for its stealth and great bw capability.

Mine will be a GRD3. Soon, my Precious...

Frank, 40mm is available, but not in "pocket embeded" lens. External, but probably very very good. For your needs would be interesting.

Prawda, że świetny aparacik?

I nearly bought same kit, but decided that 21mm is far too wide for me, and those converters are aint pocketable at all. Plain GRD is so nice after wandering with EOS 1n, which was my previous point& shoot.

Great you are able to use well such wide lens.
