Keith (M) Posted December 28, 2015 Share #9022 Posted December 28, 2015 I may do. I think the problems with mine are annoyingly subtle. I probably wouldn't even know that the AF is too slow if I hadn't tried it out on the same camera belonging to a B&H salesman who had his on him when I was shopping there earlier this year. But there was a big difference. The B&H guy's GR1 locked focus almost instantaneously no matter what angle the camera was held or how close to contrasty the subject was... This is an interesting overview of advanced compact cameras, with links to more in-depth tests of individual cameras. Note that it seems the Ricohs are no longer repairable. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpavich Posted December 28, 2015 Share #9023 Posted December 28, 2015 It snowed too much today to go out, so I stayed at home and rolled bulk Neopan 400 into cassettes. Then I had to try one out to make sure I hadn't made any mistakes: M2 by chrism229, on Flickr M2, Elmarit-M 90, Neopan 400, HC-110, X1 scan. Chris So we finally get to see the legendary Chrism. Nice shot. I wasn't aware that you could even buy bulk Neopan. How cost effective is it? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that it seems the Ricohs are no longer repairable. Thanks, Keith. I think I've read this and everything else out there multiple times - to the point of insanity. I don't know whether a repair is impossible, but I agree that it would be very difficult to find reliable good quality service. This is one of the major issues with this old out of production compact film camera - especially the ones that come from Japan - and elsewhere in Asia, which are notorious for misrepresenting the condition of the camera leaving the buyer to either figure it out or not. In any case, I am glad that I bought the warranty from Square and will hope that they will just refund me my purchase price. Given my experience, I probably will not seek out another Ricoh, and will wait for the inevitable GAS attack and take it from there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted December 28, 2015 Share #9029 Posted December 28, 2015 Is it fixable then Adam? Or just live with it. I must admit, I had to do a search to see what the camera actually was. Your comment about the CL (or CLE) being a mini M7 is true, but the M7 is not really pocket-able, whereas the CL with the 28mm LTM (assuming it works) is. And likely you'd take it more than you'd take the M7, simply due size, weight, bulk, value etc. I echo the Rollei S, I had one for years, small, light, collapsible lens, albeit 40mm, not your favoured 28mm. Gary Thanks, Gary. I appreciate your insights. The Ricoh GR1 has somewhat of a cult following nowadays. But it is the baseline for the digital version, which has a "street photography" centric design and focus. Hi Adam, Nice pictures, they illustrate well for which purposes you want to use this camera. To some extend one could wonder if autofocus is really necessary for a 28 mm lens... As a brand new alternative you could also look at the Lomo LC-A, which sports a 2.8 32mm lens, or at the wide-angle version, the Lomo LC-WIde, with a 4.5 17mm lens. Although, they all miss the in-build flash... Regards C. Very interesting, Christoph. I will look into this. I see that they now make a newer version (A+) with a 32mm lens that is made in China instead of Russia. Very interesting and (GASSY) food for thought. Speaking of different analog cameras, Leica , Minolta or Nikon , I had made different tests with my enlarger, and then develop on photographic paper, with the same b&w film Kodak TX. Only Leica stands out because of its optics. It is sharper and more contrasted with Leica. Same test and remark on color with projection of Fuji Provia slides on a projector Pradovit CA 1500 with the large screen. So particular attention on lens mounted on cameras. Best Henry You are correct, Henry. Technically, Leica will deliver better quality. But for the quick snapshot photos these professional compact camera do a very adequate job. The detail that I was able to get out of the first snow blizzard shot that I posted above with the silver gelatin fiber print was about as good as one could hope for. Having said this, I will say that I have obtain MUCH better results with B&W film than with color film.

Nice for a girls room or a powder room. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benqui Posted December 28, 2015 Share #9036 Posted December 28, 2015 So I've gone back to the research on the compact auto/manual-focus..etc...compact film camera comparisons and I have reminded myself why I landed on the Ricoh GR1v. -The Minolta CLE was at the end of the day a mini M7 and I already have an M7 and in any case it is not really clear what lenses work on the camera (Cameraquests seems to suggest that all old LTM lenses will not work, but this seems to be refuted on other sites). -The Contax and Rollei (and others) are nice but not 28mm -That leaves the Minolta TC1 and Ricoh GR1 -Minolta is very Leica-like in its construction and has a good lens. But I was put off by the way in which the manual focus works and the ability to easily toggle b/n AF and MF. -The Ricoh seemed to have better functionality relating to MF. You can pretty easily toggle from 1-5 meters. Or set it at infinity or spot or P-mode (whatever that means), all pretty easily. I actually had fun with it and was able to have it handy to capture some special moments, particularly family moments. And the lens is really quite good. I have had some analog silver gelatin (fiber) prints made of some of them and have been very impressed (corner to corner sharpness, good contrast, etc) In case anyone is interested (and to give the camera the credit it deserves (assuming it works properly, which I'm convinced mine didn't but still managed to get these results), here are some sample images taken with the camera... Tri-X ricoh2-1.jpg Tri-X ricoh3-1.jpg Tri-X ricoh4-1.jpg Tmax ricoh1-1.jpg HP5 ricoh10-1.jpg Amazing results with such a small camera.

philipus Posted December 28, 2015 Share #9037 Posted December 28, 2015 Looks plenty sharp to me, Ramesh. And, though it appears to have been a bright day, you managed to separate out the sculpture from the background, which I like. I don't know Rodinal but it seems to be a good combination with Acros (which I also don't know - yet ) - there's very nice tonality in the midtones to the highlights. The one thing I'm wondering about is the shadows; they seem a bit "light". I'm thinking the image would have more punch with darker shadows because it would make the sculpture stand out more clearly. Btw, do you know what the sculpture means? When I visited Bondi om '12 the rain was hanging in the air, but it didn't prevent people from being on and around the beach. Great place.
