Forum: Ricoh GR 10-29-2019, 04:23 AM  
Why I got a Ricoh GR...but why did you ?
Posted By pop4

I recently got the GR III because I wanted a capable, but compact camera to take around with me when I don't or can't carry around anything bigger. I've tried using the camera in my phones, but the IQ just isn't there, and I wanted a proper standalone camera.

And after having used the Sony RX100IV, RX1R II, Fujifilm X100, X100T, X100F, X70 and Leica Q in such a role, I've found the GR III to be perfect for my needs.

I used to. That's why I started this thread and I don't think I ever found a solution, but I sold all my Pentax gear a few years back, and now I'm just here for the popcorn and Ricoh GR forum.

There's a link to sample photos taken with lens in the first post.

The rear element is quite recessed, so I couldn't get a photo with the rear element itself, but hope these photos will suffice:

Item for Sale
Pentax FA* 250-600 F5.6 + Tripod + Gimbal head

Asking Price
It'd be nice to get $10,000.00 AUD for it all, but the price is definitely negotiable.

Anyone who buys the lot for $10,000 gets a Pentax K-5 dSLR thrown in.

Item Location
Melbourne (Australia)

Item Description
Getting out of the Pentax system, and time to get rid of my last piece of Pentax glass.
For sale is my Pentax FA* 250-600 F5.6 lens. Good condition optically, but has a few marks here and there cosmetically from use. Comes with:
- metal carry trunk. The inside foam is not original, came like that when I bought it
- rear lens cap
- front lens cover. The front leather piece is gone and came like that when I bought the lens.
- Pentax strap
- drop in filter set

Sample photos taken with the lens here.

Also available is a large Benro carbon tripod (C3780T) and Benro GH-2 Gimbal Head w/ PL-100 arca-swiss compatible quick release plate.

A year on since I've last posted in this thread, I've slimmed down the total number of lenses I have down by one and changed the composition of what I have.

Now 16 in total, only 2 of which are zooms:

5x Leica M mount
7x Fuji-X mount
2x X-Pan mount
2x Pentax K mount

All that's left for sale is the Sigma 85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM.

For US buyers, AUD$750 is approximately USD$550. Given that B&H sells the lens for USD$969, I think that's a pretty good deal!

Note the flash stand in the picture is not the original one and not the one you get in with the flash, it's a spare I had around. The original Pentax flash stands have not been used.

Nope, not missing anything, and it has pretty damn good image quality. I've had the XF60/2.4 since launch, and subsequent firmware updates have actually improved it's focusing speed. It's not a fast to focus lens, but, as you say, I don't think it's all that slow either!

Latest shot with the X-Pro1, and, speaking of the devil, the XF60/2.4 Macro:

Nice shots, and makes me realise it's been way too long since I've paid a visit to a Museum.

Local store (digidirect) had a 10% off all stock sale, and I caved in and bought the 56/1.2:

Photos from the X-Pro1 + Zeiss Planar 50/2.0. I'm liking the ~50mm focal length, might not be able to resist the Fuji 56/1.2 for much longer

Got to play with a friend's Leica 50/1.4 Summilux-M on my X-E1 yesterday. It was the first time I really used an adapted lens on my Fuji-X cameras, and getting the focus spot on was not easy at all.
