you got me hooked on Ricoh, bought the GRii, learned a lot about what sharpness means and who and what has the engineering possibilities, Ricoh to me now is the Leica of Japan, I also am buying some of these Ricoh brochures online that you can't get in the states, very interesting stuff, thanks, very educational

@CitiesAndColours Look, Skrillex is a pseudonym or a working name. Sonny Moore uses that name for his work and so is known as Skrillex. You can still call him skrillex and people know who you are talking about. So Skrillex is a person because that is a NAME that Moore uses. So your silly comment is mute.

[Mijonju]

GR1, yup, there should be not problem with Vignette too, but hand held because there is not screw thread

[Mijonju]

@simozonelayer chromatic aberration yup, i think its when over white turns color in some point.

[TEHSOCKEY]

@unknownchronicles erm it realy depends how much you want to spend, you can get a canon copy of the leica iii for around £100 on the bay or you could get a zorki 1 which is also a coppy of the leica iii and the zorki doesnt have a focal plain shutter problem like all the fed 1s

It's awesome how you said iphone 5 back then.

[TEHSOCKEY]

mijonj what do you think is a reasonable price for a gr1, gr1s, gr1v camera, theres one on uk ebay for £285 (400) is that any good

[alexcorona]

Not all film is full frame(I know you know that but you said that it is)
I have a Petri compact that does half film. So you basically get twice the exposures.

One of those lens would be ideal lens for my Fed2, shame I cannot afford the £600-£700 for them. :o(

Is there any other prime LTM lenses out there, you would recommend for a FED2 that range from 28-35mm with a 2.8 aperture?

I really enjoyed this vid, thanks.

Mijonju, How do you afford all these lenses and cameras????
I've been a fan and user of the GR1 series for a while, do you think the Gr IV digital is worth it, or does it compare to the original 35mm cameras?

[TraceurZeno]

@emapanda Thank you for your reply emapanda, but I am looking for a focal distance of 28mm or 35mm.

[ryalnz]

what camera are you using to shoot your videos Mijonju thanks :)

[EDHBlvd]

Do you recommend the GR21 camera? I'm weary of reliability (Ricoh no longer services them) for such high prices. They felt $900+ on eBay. The results I've seen online look incredible though. I'm going to sell my Fujifilm Klasse S as I want something wider.

[CitiesAndColours]

@Christoff87 His name is Sonny Moore, Skrillex isnt a person.

[unknownmemoirs]

Hello Mijonju! I was wondering, what's the "cheapest" rangefinder out there? I'm kinda getting tired of digital stuff, not saying it's bad

[zhemin]

Mijonju is the GR1s reliable, i heard it break easily.
Whats your opinion on this.

Thanks

[franscartoons]

@HarveyGrass i would love that too! i have three rollei 35s, i love em! best street camera!

[davidchiu]

@unknownchronicles you can start with Zorki 6 made in USSR. They are pretty cheap by quality is not worse than the Leica by far.

[CantEtCheese]

@djlaxa Haha! Glad I wasn't the only one! Skrillex is awesome too.

Your pace of talking is a lil fast... please slow down a bit
