How do we, film Ricoh users, prove origin of picture?

 

[odklizec]

Well, I will have to believe you The best proof would be to show us your gallery with some your Ricoh shots.

btgc,
I think the film ricohs may have trouble with an ant's view theme because they can't focus close. But that just makes me more eager to see your photo idea goodluck
