All the photos in the video were shot on GRIIIx w/ and w/o GA-2 and UV filter. Standard 26mm lens(40mm eqiivalent). No teleconverter was used in any shot.

Love seeing people use GRs in their own way. I’ve had a grii for a few years as my main cam and love so many things about it. I’ve taken plenty of portraits on the grii but have felt the iiix would be better for this, however I couldn’t find any good examples for this use. These are excellent, the best gr iiix portraits I’ve seen and proof that it can be done!

Thank you Jordan - I appreciate your thoughts and really glad that you like my GR shots. I`ve had the GRII as well and had a blast with this camera. To be honest - when I sold it I immediately regreted it. Few months later I got myself the GRIIIx - I won`t be making the same mistake again of letting go of GR camera 😅

Unbelievable that soo stunning photos are coming out of such a tiny camera! After watching this and other videos I will upgrade my sony rx100 III to the Ricoh GR III. It is amazing that this Rico is extremely sharp at the edges, a Fuji X-E4 with its 27mm (40mm KB) 2.8 is way less sharp at the edge and in the center, too, even at high aperture. absolutely stunning!

Thank you for your kind words! Indeed the GR is a surprising piece of tiny gear that makes the photography fun and full of quality. I had the X100F before and even it was "small", I found out I`m not using it enough, often leaving it at home. I take the GR literally everyday in my small bag to work, to the city, during casual hikes. It`s really an amazing companion. No paid promotion here - just facts ;)

My friend; what the fuck? This was phenomenal. You have completely changed my perspective as a photographer here. I have been ignoring the GR3X and looking towards the GR3 or waiting on the GR4 as a replacement for my X70, because I like the 28mm, but your photos are so incredible I am now curious to see more from the 40mm here. I will subscribe. Your aesthetic is great, very nice colour and tone. How much work are you doing in post production to get to that point? I ask because I'm a jpeg only shooter.

Hey mate, it`s so goood to hear such praise here! I will definitely make some more videos about the GR3x - with some of my editing methods as well. In fact I`m a really simple man(and lazy I guess) - I hate complex editing - simplicity is my way. I shoot RAW+JPG but mostly just do the simple color corrections and grain in post. For many shoots I did only JPGs. Also I`ll be testing new editing plugin and make a video about it - it will be published in the first half of January, so stay tuned! - ps. Huge thanks for the sub!

@DigitalRetro

Well, I think we won't see the GRIV this year, maybe 2025 - especially now that they released the GR3/GR3X HDF which is totaly unnecessary imo. I'd love if they make GRIV slightly bigger to keep ibis, maybe with a 33/40mp sensor and bring back the removed flash and add even a tiny little evf. That would be the GReatest GR for me.

Thank you! All photos were edited from RAW/JPEG files mostly using my LR presets and simple slider adjustments like highlights/shadows/contrast/etc. And how I love the photos from this camera. the video on GRIIIx is rather poor - you can find it on my other GR review. Although the newest firmware improved the IBIS in video, but still the IQ and AF are terrible, so I wouldn`t recommend this camera for video.

Great video! Where did you order and how much was the adapter you have on your GR? I’m wanting to get a GRiiix for an everyday, travel camera. It sounds like an amazing camera but I guess the criticisms have been dust on the sensor. Is that why you added the adapter and protective filter?
@DigitalRetro
@DigitalRetro Жыл бұрын
Thank you! The adapter is a GA-2 from Ricoh(I probably ordered it on Amazon or from my local photo store - cant remember now - it was around 55 USD - There is a NiSi one as well which is cheaper than original(around 25 USD). I purchased it to protect my GR from dust and the lens damage(I`m really overprotective about my gear!). But I guess it works - it`s been over a year and I didn`t clean my lens even once and the sensor is dust free. I did however stick small bits of tape to microphone holes to prevent sucking up dust from front side. It`s rediculous I know, but the dust issue is unfortunately present in GR2/GR3/GR3x for all these years - a little strange Ricoh didn`t address this so far. Anyway I still stand that GR3X is one hell of a EDC with awesome image quality.

I’m loving the Gr3 & Gr3x. What are your thoughts on the high iso noise reduction settings? Best to leave it off for the grain you mentioned, right? Or do you leave it on low or auto?
@DigitalRetro
@DigitalRetro 2 жыл бұрын
GR IIIx uses High ISO IR only for jpegs, so I leave it on Auto. This way if I`m satisfied with the grain on the JPeg i just leave it as it is, but still I can use unprocessed image if I want to keep the original grain and make some adjustments to RAW exposure, ect. Somehow I do find adding more grain to less grainy GR shots with Polar mobile or desktop LR for a very pleasing effect.

Well getting close with 18mm lens will give you more distortion than with 26mm of the GRIIIx, not to mention the better background separation from the 40mm equivalent - anyway sometimes you can`t get closer or farther away and that`s the main problem with fixed and prime lens :)
