Forum: Ricoh GR
10-13-2019, 07:16 PM

1. Is the sensor the exact same as the K-5 or is the filterless version used in the K-5IIs and the K-01? Steve Huff's review said that it was the filterless version but I haven't seen further confirmation.The GR sensor has no AA filter. That, combined with the excellent lens, gives very sharp photos. I've never seen confirmation on the exact sensor in the GR; it might a different sensor than in any other Pentax camera because the GR was designed by Ricoh long before they bought Pentax.
2. I have only recently learned about the dust issue that seems to be apparent in all GR models except the GR III since it can shake the dust off the sensor. Is it as widespread as it seems or exaggerated?
I've experienced some large dust spots despite keeping the camera in a case when not used. Putting the camera in a soft pouch and shaking it around is my low tech version of sensor cleaning. Full cleaning is a complex DIY chore or $200 repair fee. Regardless, the GR is still a good camera.
3. Due to this issue I am also considering the Fuji XF-10 but would probably regret it because I've always liked the GR but never owned one. How do they compare? I like the ND filter in the GR, but the Fuji has 4K video and a touch screen. I am skeptical about the Fuji processing as well, is it the X-TRANS type of sensor?
The GR is, for me, mostly a street photography and places-where-no-cameras-allowed type of camera. The lack of a touchscreen has never bothered me. I have 3 custom modes configured on the dial to meet my needs and rarely need any other controls.

I keep my GR II in an eyeglass case/bag to prevent the dust issue. As far as sensors go, I do know the size is the same size as the K-5 series and it has no AA filter. The GR IIi s sharp as heck and the XF-10 does not hold a candle to it.

After many many hours, I finally finished it! Hopefully you guys like the design.
I have stylized the PF logo quite a bit and if I do need to add a proper, unedited version then I'll upload an entry with a un-stylized logo at the bottom or something.

The Japanese site DC Watch has an interesting interview with two Ricoh staff. Well, one of them is Tomohiro Noguchi, who is known as “Mr GR”, and who retired this summer, so he’s ex-Ricoh now.
It’s quite a long article and I haven’t got to the end yet because I’m making a point of reading things in Japanese if I can, which takes ages. However, from what I’ve read so far, it has some interesting insights into how Ricoh’s approach to cameras has evolved over the years

You could try Google for translation, but sometimes Bing Translate seems better.
I wasn’t sure where this would fit best. I figured most people who care about Ricoh camera history would be here, but if there’s a better place, please move it there.

Hello All,
I just looked back through all the various firmware updates and see that the K-3II was last updated on 04/08/2016 to v1.10.
There have been a number of updates to K-3, K-1 etc since for lenses that I suspect didn't have their data etc finalised by that date, let alone all the small fixes/improvements that would have been found necessary in the intervening period, so on the surface it would appear that the K-3II has been forgotten.
Anyone have any Real Information that can throw some light on this?
Cheers,
Terry

Students can buy an entry-level DSLR with a kit lens from other manufacturers for less than $400 ($399 canon T6; $396 Nikon D3500). Why doesn't Pentax have an entry-level DSLR at this price-point? The K-70, at a 50% higher cost for just the body, is out of most students' budget. Are there any plans for a $400 entry-level competitor to get beginners hooked on our brand?
And thank them for not wasting time on video, mirrorless cameras or EVFs. Some of us just want a winning still-image producing machine.
This would be great!

The interesting thing of course is that we don’t have to watch the videos if we don’t want to... I’ve picked up a few technique points from Mr Northrup.

Glad to see their F mount adapter has a mechanical auto diaphragm stop down mechanism. That allows focusing wide open with legacy lenses. If a 3rd-party would make a K mount adapter with this feature I'd consider the Z6 instead of the A7III. I use SMC-M lenses on the A7, which means focusing at the shooting aperture, which is not ideal. Leica made a Leica R-mount adapter for the digital SL so it could use R lenses (I have several), but it does not have a mechanical diaphragm lever.
The other issue with legacy manual lenses is mechanical aperture detection, so the camera knows the shooting aperture to allow wide-open metering as well as focusing. The Nikon F mount adapter doesn't seem to have this, so it may mean stop-down metering only. However, with all the old Nikon lenses out there, maybe a 3rd party will come up with an adapter that has this also.
Of course, camera manufacturers would rather sell new lenses than make using old lenses as easy as possible, so such adapters are not their best interest.

Negatives? One card slot, price, size (it isn't that small for a mirrorless camera), lack of screw drive support on legacy lenses, short battery life, and lack of native lenses (no wide angles and no small primes). And it turns out that even with the awesome autofocus of mirrorless, a 58mm f.95 lens has to be manual focused.
I would like to see a K-02 with full frame sensor, EVF and PDAF points on the sensor. Other than being able to mount other brand lenses, I don't know that there is a huge benefit to re-doing the mount and I still shoot with my K-01 some. It's slow and clunky, but it is pretty old too. With regard to size, it isn't that much bigger than many of the mirrorless cameras on the market -- just a little bit thicker is all.

I love my K-01, but the AF is horrific. Give it a hybrid AF system and it becomes workable. Put a FF sensor in the back and it gets even better. Put in an EVF and nobody would have anything to complain about.

I don't think they can or will compete. I think they'll keep rolling out incrementally updated DSLRs until it starts losing money... whenever that is.. 20 years from now.. or next Tuesday. I don't foresee them joining the mirrorless race. It would cost way too much money to invest research and development into a couple mirrorless bodies and a competitive lens lineup. They are so slow with DFA lenses for a camera already on the market for 2 years.. they wouldn't make an about face now.. I wouldn't think at least as they seem committed to what they started.
IF they wanted to go mirrorless, I think a smarter move would be mirrorless medium format body and a few lenses. Medium Format bodies are so massive due to the large mirrorbox that it would help shrink bodies down to a more reasonable size. Plus they wouldn't need a huge lens lineup to get cooking.. But this is neither here nor there as Ricoh has over the years repeated they are focused on Pentax as a DSLR brand.

I tend to use the notation K-07, which to me represents the innards of a K-70 packaged in a MILC shell with an EVF.
If this were priced no more than a KP or so, I would purchase it .... but I don't expect Pentax to produce it.

Stretched quite a bit:
The BIG failure is you said fail and not failure. Grammatically incorrect gamerspeak I know.. I know.. :p But, yes, the single card slot is going to be a deal breaker for some people.. I think event and wedding photogs mostly. Perhaps the battery grip will come with a second slot though? Pure speculation on my part but it would be a nice work around.
The original NOCT lens was manual focus too.. that's just a flagship showroom lens to show off the brand and the more reasonably priced products. At f/0.95 on full frame, I'm guessing you'll want to use focus peaking in the EVF and manually focus anyways. Then again, I wonder how thin that in focus plane will be...

Hi,
I ended up getting one custom made for my scope, £200 from a niche outfit near me, but it gives me parfocality. Ie focus scope through eyepiece and camera is in focus.
Best source of advice for microscope stuff is the forum at www.photomacrography.net, those folks have all the answers you need.

I'm guessing the Asahi Optical Co. stickers they've been handing out at CP+ and including in some of the Japanese DFA* 50mm packages have something to do with the Centennial. I'd expect a K-1ii Centennial/Centenary Edition (Platinum?) featuring an engraved AOC logo.

Other than possible roadmapped lenses, I should think they must be planning something special to mark the occasion, but, what?

The Z6 seems very similar to the Sony A7iii. Nikon IMO made a smart move starting with the compact, economical 24-70 f4 rather than the f2.8 which will come later.
Shortcomings of the Z6 include: Short battery life. Impressive maximum burst speed is reportedly handicapped by viewfinder not refreshing and a small buffer; I think bursts are limited to 5.5 fps if you need to pan with movement.
Let the Z6, A7iii, and whatever comes from Canon fight it out. The camera market is smaller than it used to be because of smartphones. Maybe Ricoh doesn't want to get in the middle of that mess; maintaining market share at a profit is better than growing market share while bankrupting the company.

I'm now convinced that a Pentax MILC would make sense only if they kept the K-mount; they don't have the resources to develop yet another lens family. That is also the new thing they would bring to the table. Whether that is enough is a question I don't feel qualified to answer.

Nikon are quoting 330,Sonys battery is twice that.....I'm sure in real world use, can be stretched.
Nikon got ergonomics right,probably menu, WR , AF for video and the fact existing Nikon shooters can use their F mount lenses back to 1959.
The BIG fail is one card slot,the battery life,the fact the battery grip isnt ready.The 58mm f0.95 is manual only.(when its available)
