I'm curious, of those of you who are posting b&w, are you shooting raw and then changing it in PP? I recently got a GR iv and I am trying to sort out what will work best for me.

Cheers,

I shoot RAW and then change in PP.
Sometimes I find my photos better in color than B&W.

Just depends.

i pretty much always shoot JPEG. i usually set the camera to b&w, but occasionally i will convert a color photo to b&w in Lightroom.
 
Playing around with the in-camera processing. One thing I can say is that I love the camera. The interface is easy to understand. The various buttons and their positions are right on. The macro is surprisingly good. I am happy so far.










*the exposure is intentional, just playing around.
 
When looking back, I think purchasing the GRD III was one of my best decisions ever. The GRD (with or without the conversion lens) is a great choice for shooting wide angle on a budget.

Here are a couple of shots from my trip to China last summer:

I'm off to buy a used GRD2 in a few hours. Sold my GX100 not too long ago and I've been missing the Ricoh experience ever since.
For me, one of the big plusses about the Ricohs is the sensor format. Looks like 4x5. I like. And don't get me started on the lens quality. Good stuff.
I'll post some shots when I can.
 
I bought a nice condition GRD-2 for €100,- for my girlfriend and she likes it a lot.
Now I have to get her a GV-2, GH-1 and GT-1.... :)
 
You could at least get the GV-2, GH-1 and GC-2 from the classified here.

Oh wait, am I promoting my own ad?! :D
 
Can I ask a naive question? I've read ad infinitum here about sensor size for whatever reason. Smaller sensors are harder to achieve a limited DoF, but with a small sensor even at a wide f-stop you can still get a pretty large DoF, so is the advantage of the fast lens more about being able to use a slower ISO relative to the light? --I'm speaking within the context of this camera. I can't see much difference between something shot at 4f and 9f. I guess I am asking in a long winded way about the uses of changing the f-stop, other than as a means to effect shutter speed.


Kokshetau, along the river

Still liking the camera.

i see the limited DOF thing as a double edged sword. it doesn't take a large aperture (f1.9) to get shallow DOF, but on the other hand it doesnt take a tiny aperture (f64) to get sharpness throughout the frame. whereas with a DSLR you might be restrained to slower shutter speeds at f64 on a sandy beach on a sunny day, with a compact you could use comparatively faster shutter speeds at f16 or f22 and still get the sharpness of f32 or f64 on a DSLR. those relatively faster shutter speeds could come in handy with freezing water action.

...and i hope i got that right, because i'm always screwing up technical stuff. :eek:
