mountain climbing with GR1

[odklizec]

Great site about mountain climbing. There is also a large section about GR film and digital cameras, which are like build for mountain climbing, thanks to their size, weight and excellent wide lens. This page is definitely worth to visit.

Yap! I visited that page before buying my GX-100 with climbing in mind. Ricoh seems to bee prety famous among climbers...

Pavel, what a coincidence! This is the exact site where I have met Ricoh cameras! I have this passion about mountain trekking and climbing, so it was very easy to spot this guy, but I couldn't imagine how he would be so important in my life. I mean, really, considering all the good things that happened to me because of photography, especially after my digital option ;-)

Man, I didn't imagine he was working with the digital line of Ricoh, how couldn't I?

Pavel,
It was with many mountanieers in mind that I started this thread, viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4958&p=22996#p22996 - to my surpise an actual mountaineer samot1234 replied so I felt I was on to something, its just a general feeling reading around the web that the GR1 was/is popular with some of these mountanieering guys.

This page here - http://filmwasters.com/forum/index.php? ... 35#msg6535
has some good technical info on the GR1, and some interesting sample images - the BW of the Porsche (I think) is excellent. Love the image of "Moriyami and Araki in Shinjuku", a real pair of characters
