Green Chairs

R10, f4.1, 1/7, ISO 200, JPG

After recieving both cameras for review I thought I take the R10 with me to get used to it a bit before reviewing it. The first impression is very good and I really like the camera. More will follow in a review but I am very glad Ricoh dropped the 'soap-box' design, flimsy build and controls from the R5 and improved the interface from the R7. While I have no extensive experience with the previous R series cameras, I think the R10 is the best yet. The great build and design alone are worth the upgrade.
This picture is straight out of the camera with minimal cropping and contrast adjustment.

  1. I like the way you have captured the reflection of the chairs on the floor.

  3. Waiting for results of your GR1 week with interest. Your experiences remind me just why I sold my last film camera about 4 years ago, and have never looked back.

    And, the bad weather must have made a bad job worse!

  4. Peter, glad the GR1 week was interesting and from the comments I got, I think a lot of people feel the same way about film. It is nice and romantic but too much hassle to be worthwile.
    The bad weather did not help to make me feel better about having an ISO 200 film in my camera and having t do with very low shutter speeds.

    Posted my results today if you want to take a look.
