I have had the GRIII since it first arrived, and love it! So nice to travel with, fits right into the pocket without losing a lens cap! I've been shooting 95% of the time with "Positive Film" simulation and love it.... But I am only NOW looking closer at the other film simulations.

Hi Luke, I just luckily came across your blog and really appreciate and enjoy your free LR presets. Thank you for sharing them. But it seems the Ektar and colorMax presets are very close, not sure is it expected. Thank you again for your sharing, hopefully someday I may get one GR III☺️

why is it ugly? looks very discrete and cool. It looks exactly like what it was designed for, can't imagine it any other way tbh.

90℅ of what I do is covered by either my 11-40 1:2.8 Pro and my 45mm 1:1.8. For those few moments, where I need that reach this should do just fine. Just ordered a new one for 130€, which is sasly what they go for used here as well. So I thought why not get a warranty for the same price.

Veeery usefull video !!! As a new fpL owner, I wasn't aware of the possibilities. Thx a lot. And Thx for posting the recepes on your website.

Could have mentioned something about the specs....

If God created film originally in black & white I will photograph the world in black and white. B&W was adequate for Henri Cartier-Bresson so it must be adequate for me. The manufacturers gave us the possibility of shooting in jpeg + raw. Thus I can shoot B&W in jpeg and also have color raw files. The best of both worlds. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Dust on the sensor only happens to people who are worried about it. It's a rule, I have read it but can't find it at the moment.

Hi Luke, great video. Would you recommend the FP for someone who shoots only stills? (Subscribed). Thanks!

Nice. Personally I’d dial the green back. Just a little.

Except that this camera is still anywhere from 450 to 800 used.

Ricoh GR should have 256GB built in. Like a cell phone. That would make it fast and save some extra space for Better video tech

🔥

Don't drop it or you'll have no choice but to replace it! Believe you me!

That is almost exactly the same setup i still use totay. Although i am a proud owner of a M6 and M10, i still love to use my trusty A7m1 with manual lenses. I don't even own a single autofocus lens. As a Minolta enthusiast, i own a lot of manual Minolta MD and MC lenses. The A7 combined with manual lenses plus focus peaking and the C1 button setup to the focus magnification is a killer setup that is capable to beat leicas rangefinder easily when it comes to focus speed and handling. i love it and i hate it, because it makes my m10 obsolete :D ... and on top i feel a lot more comfortable travelling with my A7 than my m10 since its way more affordable. Voigtländer 35 1,4 along with A7 is a killer travel setup without the constant pain in the ass that 3,5k+ bucks are gone when your m10 is gone

I read that the 35megapixel crop is 15 megapixels and the 50mm crop is 7 megapixels on this camera.

Mine got a massive lump of dust right in the middle of the sensor .. I looked after my camera , kept it clean ect .. not one camera shop where I live in the U.K would touch it to clean the sensor .. I miss my Ricoh, I had Ricoh Gr from the film. Camera days .. I miss snap focus and the sharp lens .. I've switched to Fuji x100f .. no problems after 4 years .. I'm £800 out of pocket .. if Ricoh make a weather sealed version I'll get another ( maybe ).. the lump of dust looks as big as a soccer ball.. I hope you never have this issue .. 👍

Hi Luke, do you have any plans to create film recipes for the Sony RX100 pictures profiles?

Color Profile settings?

Still use it to this day for all my real estate shoots. Paired with the Oly 8-25mm, it's a great combo.

It’s funny you talk about Chinese knockoff products while showing some

Making me miss it!

I bought an RX100 used some years ago. It's a great camera.

I always shoot RAW + SF on my Olympus cameras but rarely even look at the .jpg (except for monotone) Will give them a chance going forward.

Got mine about five years ago to start getting serious about my hobby of wildlife/bird photography and I love this camera. Paired with the Lumix 100-300 zoom, my photos improve with each trip and with more experience. I am starting to experiment with Infra Red and have yet to fully explore the Bulb settings and other long exposure settings. I’m learning every day and have even used the Olympus OMD E1 mark 2 to video myself for conference presentations. It’s a great little work horse that never disappoints.

The Olympus Pen F and Fuji X100V/VI are similar. Both hard to find and if available sells at a premium. Try the lumix GX8/9. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

I traded in my Sony ZV-E10, Sigma 18-50 f/2.8, Sigma 30mm f/2.8, Sigma 60mm f/2.8, and the kit lens for the E-M1 mkii and mZD 12-40 f/2.8. To preface this, ALL of my Sony/Sigma gear were barely used and barely a year old with just a little over 2000 actuations. No scratches, dents, cracks, whatsoever. Price-wise, I traded down for sure. But personal value-wise, this is the best decision I've made since I started photography. The autofocus on this camera is highly underrated. I think it's just as fast as Sony's if you know how to use it. Its dynamic range and high ISO performance is also more than adequate, even by today's standards. And for those of us who shoot a lot of nature/outdoor photos, the way Olympus renders greens is an absolute masterclass in color science. And don't even get me started on the IBIS. Plus, with electronic shutter and weather-sealing, this camera can practically live forever. Only downside, to me, is that so many of its features are buried deep within its menu system. Sony, Canon, and Fuji's menu systems are far more user-friendly. But, hey, that's where Robin Wong and the Northrups' guides come in handy.

As much as I think so highly of my EM1 MKII and EM5 MKII, I think at the moment the best value camera here in the UK, is the Nikon Z6 MKII. Shops have started to discount them now that the news of the Z6 MKIII has really taken off. I think Olympus did not conduct their marketing as intelligently and aggressively as the likes of Fuji, Sony or even Leica although this one is a different story. To me it seemed like for ever they were apologising for the camera being an MFT. This is nonsense, as I know what these cameras are capable of and I do own Nikon, Canon and Leica film and digital cameras. Here in the UK atleast, the characters who were the ' ambassadors ' were even older and more boring than myself, so Olympus did not really appeal to the young ' photographer '. Just have a look at the people who promote Fuji, Sony, Canon or even Nikon. Too late now, Olympus as a camera manufacturer are no more.

I have it but the pictures are poor, my 50$ Android phone's pictures are better than E-M -1 MII

I have other cameras but i have to say, the Em1 mkii has to be the best handling, most comfortable camera i have ever used! Love it!

agree! 9:31 Had my EM1MII for 6 years! Never, so far, had a problem. And the pro lenses are absolutely top class. Naturally, the autofocus is a little more accurate on fast-moving subjects in the most modern cameras. But much can be compensated there with photography technology. I was thinking of switching for that reason, but regretted it. Very happy with this camera. I am an amateur, but this camera is sufficient for any professional photographer. Thanks for your video feature!

Still an amazing camera... Got it for 5 years now, never let me down.

How were these pictures taken? Handheld or on a stable surface/using a tripod? Etc

I have the latest generation, the mark 7, and it’s just mediocre at taking pictures given its ineffective image stabilization. And I was only taking pictures in auto mode, with stabilization on, outside during the day, of static and big subjects (buildings, trees, bridges, statues etc). It also has many other negatives. For 1300 euros, this is all the more disappointing and unacceptable

Haha, funny intro about the ironing board etc. :-) wow, I love the picture profiles in the FP. Totally understand that Fuji is great but not waitlist-worthy.

Because the camera doesn’t look vintage

I have this camera and love it. With regards to the bubbling screen, just get a razor blade and pry off the rear screen protector. It makes 2 minutes and makes it look brand new again!

It's not broken, just don't watch these kind of reviews or at least watch with the topic in mind. There are some UA-camrs, they actually BUY a new camera and tell you what is going on. Its to easy for the companies, look at Panasonic and their release of the Lumix S9, they invited UA-camrs to Japan, even some with only a few thousand subs, big show and they could take a S9 home. Of course this is tempting esp for a mall UA-camr. But again it is up to us viewers, we have the power, just stop watching them. Then the industry will change, as most UA-camrs will not change :)

Reviews are almost always biased to a degree... unless the person reviewing the gear has parted with their own cash... Giving the reviewer a camera to keep, will just create worse reviews than currently happen, as they will be inclined to give positive reviews to get more gear. On the flip side of your argument, most review channels would disappear in minutes if they stopped being given the loaner gear, if they demanded to be paid to review it, 1 they wouldn't get the gear, and 2 that is a massive conflict of interests, and no-one would take a review seriously if it starts with a disclaimer "I was paid by "Company name" to review this product" (this has to be disclosed) Most established reviewers seem to focus on the positives of products whilst mentioning the negatives, and reviewers are paid through links, UA-cam adds, subscriptions etc

OMG!! UA-camrs making money and receiving hardware and trips? The inhumanity!!!! Now to do the same to the computer tech reviewers, or anything being reviewed that was provided by the manufacturer. Received a laptop for review? Cancel em! Expect to make money to be able to pay out of pocked for gear for reviews? Cancel em! When it's all done, there'll be nothing left but cat videos. That'll be Utopia, endless cat videos...

Look, the problem is in the terminology. Don’t call it a review if you haven’t independently acquired said product and haven’t worked/lived with it. If you’re receiving a piece of kit and returning it within weeks, you can NOT give a proper review. At most, it’s a preview. I think we all need to be better at protecting the meaning behind words. The word ‘review’ has been thrown around a bit too easily.

Your solution is: dont take loaners, take cash, as if this removes bias god damnit :D

Trying to lift on the video from Gerald Undone ?

Curtis Judd just dropped a video discussing this topic too and talks about sponsorships later in the video: ua-cam.com/video/7FKojCSA9Ns/v-deo.htmlsi=o0YxOF87f1WuwXY4 Glad to see more and more youtubers discussing this.

Its this straight out of camera?

Preach

Why does Gerard Undone talks when Lumix has done this? When Sony send camera to review to him he did not make the video? Strange, after Lumix did not invites him? Now LUMIX does what Sony does and it is a problem? Strange?

haha. your solution is just to pay youtubers better for their work. the issue you described originally was that reviews are broken because they aren't reviews, they are marketing. the solution isn't to get better paid for said marketing, it is to make sure reviews are truly unbiased. so the point is that we need to prevent camera makers from blacklisting those that give negative reviews.

Goes further than that. Recently the Panasonic S9 was revealed. And the videos of multiple UA-camrs was shot in ... Japan. I guess Panasonic paid for that trip. Your idea is fine but paying for reviews won't work. Even in the time of magazines the writers knew not to bite the hand that fed them. It is a symbiotic relationship. You can't have a truly independent review AND get free & early access to the camera.
