My much neglected GR

I am ashamed that I neglect it so often in favor of my K-5 IIs. The GR certainly deserves better! Took it to the beach last night and these are the results:

Nice shots - looks like the GR serves you well.

Agreed... fantastic shots. Mine has been stuck taking "for sale" photos for ebay or craigslist, and very infrequent outings when I don't have a film that I want. I've gone back to pretty much 95% film in the past couple years since picking up the GR. I'll never sell it though - I just stumbled on some forgotten shots from 2 summers back (posted this in another thread here, forgive) and it still amazes me what this little guy can render....

I also used it to "scan" a few Velvia 6x7 slides not long ago and it did remarkably well for that! (poor little thing, taking pictures of pictures)

Great photographs. I love mine for daily walker. I definitely still prefer the K3, but the GR is the handy beast as your photos show so well.
