Je suis Lyonnais 😉
Pour avoir eu le GR MkI, j’ai été ultra déçu avec le pb des poussières. Je l’ai hélas revendu après passage au SAV.
Au final les GRD à mini capteur sont plus efficaces de part leur plus grande profondeur de champ. Je suis bien d’accord avec toi, si Ricoh aurait sorti un GRD V avec un capteur 1″, le compromis qualité image et profondeur de champ aurait pu être très sympa. Sinon, oui on attend tous la suite du GR mkIII avec le pb des poussières corrigés et peut-être un viseur intégré entre autre.

In reply to Jeff Chane-Mouye. Welcome to my world, I shoot a lot of crap too!

Hey Lin, Zone focusing is pretty simple. You’ll get use to it pretty fast. You just have to learn your distances. A crop sensor also helps a lot for the DoF. What is fun about it is that you don’t have to worry anymore about having things in focus. You just point and shoot. That said, I use AF on my Ricoh GRD IV, cos the manual focusing really sucks. Hopefully I have the magical Snap Focus. It’s basically zone focusing at a distance ( I set it at 1 meter). If I full press the shutter, it bypass the AF and uses the focusing at 1 meter ( or the distance you have choosen). When I used to shoot street with my Fuji XE2 (APS-C), I used to zone focus at 2 meters f8 and Auto ISO. It was good enough. But the GRD IV allows me to shoot from closer distances ! Give it a try Lin and don’t hesitate to close your apperture to f11 or f16 (if the light is good) to have a massive DoF !

Cheers mate !

I need to put my hands on this book. I’ve read a lot of good feedback on it. There was no pretention in presenting this contact sheet, just to show my process of capturing a moment when I find some good place to shoot. Sorry for the other discarded photographs John. As I told you, I deleted them. I shoot a lot of crap and I once was told to erase the crap and just keep the best one. Well if so, I had to delete almost everything… I have chosen a medium path. I also keep the average ones… When I’m working on a spot like this one, I’ll keep the whole stuff from now on. I have a few old contact sheet about portraiture to share later on.
Cheers John and thanks for your feedback !

183 is the pick although your settings gives you a higher chance of success – I hunt too much for background bokeh and therefore miss many many shots – I hardly pre or zone focus distances which is a must for street – something I need to master and perhaps another reason why I’ve moved away from it but still love and will come back to it – next week in fact if I remember to take my gear to work on that day!

“Magnum Contact Sheets” is a great book for any photographer to look through. We see the same process from some of the greats. I’d like to see the ones you discarded along with these 9, then we really see the process of a photographer working the scene. 183 is the best, 180 might work too if you cropped out the door totally. An excellent article Jeff.

In reply to Bruno.

Hello Bruno, merci beaucoup ! Effectivement j’adore cette petite boite noire qui paye pas de mine. J’ai un moment hésité à acheter le Ricoh GR d’occasion, mais j’ai préféré me laisser tenter par le GRD IV. Je ne regrette absolument pas mon choix ! J’aimerai tellement que Ricoh sorte un GRD V, mais là c’est utopique… Je jetterai un oeil au Ricoh GR III néanmoins.Tu es de quelle région ?

Super ton blog, je viens de tomber dessus par hasard, génial !
J’adore ton style de photos et le rendu que tu y appliques. Ta passion du GRDIV est évidente et plein d’enthousiasme, et c’est très plaisant à lire.
Moi aussi, j’adore aussi ce merveilleux petit compact qu’est le Ricoh GRD. J’ai toujours mon III qui donne de gros signes de fatigue, et coup de chance extraordinaire j’ai récemment trouvé d’occaz un IV nickel pour un prix… indécent. J’ai donc sauté sur l’occasion illico.
Merci pour ton blog qui m’inspire beaucoup, et surtout reste motivé c’est tout bon !
Vivement le retour du soleil pour de la street avec mon nouveau IV !
