Apologies if there is already a thread about this camera, I used the search tool, but nothing came up.
I have been looking at the Ricoh GR1 series of camera for a couple of weeks now and have heard amazing things about it, that I am now very tempted to buy one in around a months time.
I currently shoot mainly with my Canon 550D, which I love! I also shoot film with either my Nikon EM or my Ricoh KR-10x, both of which are great! The GR1v (or GR1s) seem to really appeal to me, there just seems something about that that I think would really help me with my street photography, especially in terms of size/portability and quality of lens.
I am expecting a big pay coming from work in the next few weeks and have decided to put it all towards a good film camera for my street photography.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone used the Ricoh GR1v (Or GR1s)? If so, what did you think? Would love to hear personal experiences on here
2. Where can I buy such a camera? Ebay seems to have a couple of users selling them, but tbh I have never really liked Ebay/Paypal and would prefer to buy one elsewhere.
3. Just putting this here too, are there any other similar cameras in the same price point you would rather recommend?
Thank you all in advance, this is a big decision and I hope that you can all help
