Forgot to post this photo I took in April- - I’ve been shooting Ricoh GRDs since 2009- and I am currently on my 4th body, a GRDIII. The first two GRDII’s that I owned simply wore out after two years and died. The third, a GRDIII took a fall and konked out with a busted screen and even worse autofocus issues. Like the film GR bodies, they are relatively fragile cameras that require care. After the first one I should have probably gone with a Capilio 500G.
You can see why I’m not too keen on ever investing in a digital Leica- or any digital camera with a price tag over $200…
