Loving the GR, my first ricoh. Only complaints i have is it randomly started freezing up on me, just all within the last day, as well as the limitation of no iso under 400 when in continuous mode on TAV. Otherwise, a great tool. I think if it had a built in viewfinder id sell my d600.

Anyhow, heres another set out of Philadelphia (of course, hard to follow Michael Penn's amazing Philly set :) )

Thanks!
 
Welcome to the forum. Great set. You have obviously taken very naturally to the GR. look forward to more.
 
Welcome here! Great set of street photos! I'm sure the camera stability will improve with the future firmware updates. At least Ricoh is known for regular GR updates with new features, many enhancements and fixes. So stay tuned! :)
 
Welcome to the Ricoh forum srglevin. Its nice to see some colour street shots.
 
Great images of street life, srglevin. They have more than first meets the eye. These are the best i've seen on this forum, nice one...
 
Welcome here, and beautiful work - rare to see street in color, but I prefer it. 4 and 9 are my favorites. Hope you'll show more....
 
Nice photos...I'll be on the streets Monday if you want to meet. We can compare settings on the GRs and try to get yours to stop freezing.
Let me know.....
 
Welcome here and please accept votes for ## 4 and 8 though all are great.

Agree with the other comments, this is excellent work!

RE: camera freezing. I've used the camera quite a lot in the month or so that I've had it. Haven't had any problems except it has frozen on me twice. After the first time I spoke to people at Ricoh and Adoroma (where I bought it) and both suggested that I return or exchange. I chose to just keep using it, figuring it might just be a bug that I could deal with later. The camera becomes completely unresponsive, and the only thing to do is remove/replace the battery. So two times in a month of pretty heavy use, with an easy fix. I'm just going to continue living with it unless it gets a lot worse or other weird things start happening. Otherwise, it's been rock solid.
 
Nice work! 8-)

I had a couple of freeze ups on mine before I sold it on, very random & no pattern. Ricoh will no doubt shortly be issuing their first firmware update, that's the great thing about Ricoh.

Missing mine now, sold it to pay a bill but plan to renew my relationship with the GR soon. Just sold a GR1s to help me bridge that gap towards GR ownership once more. :mrgreen: (Though I must admit GRDIV prices are possibly far too good to ignore right now.)
 
Thank you all so much for the positive feedback! I've tried street before with a nikon d600 and a giant 35mm 1.4, but i was sticking out like a sore thumb. This Ricoh is such a great tool. However, it continues to freeze up on me. Not frequent enough to make it a deal breaker, but i did miss a shot the other day due to it happening. It does seem like a firmware issue, so keeping fingers crossed (tried different SD cards, even diff. battery manufacturer).

Oh well, this camera brought a lot of simple joy back to photography for me. More to come...

C&C welcome :)
 
Yet another fantastic set of street photos! Well done!

As for the GR freezes, it definitely sounds like some sort of FW issue. Too bad I still did not receive my sample for review (it got stuck somewhere in France ;)). I'm quite sure I could find some reproducible steps for these freezes, as I did few times in the past. You know, it's kind of professional deformation looking for the bugs in any kind of SW passing through my hands ;)
 
A great set, indeed. Voting for ## 5 and 9. Good work overall.
