Ricoh GR user

Hi,

New to this forum. Big fan of small cameras who recently picked up a Ricoh GR, having shot previous iterations of the GR Digital line. The dedicated Ricoh forums online are pretty dead, but there looks to be plenty going on here, so thought I'd sign up.

Like I said, I'm more into small cameras, shot Pentax DSLRs (amongst others) in the past, but they never really worked for me (found I never took the gear out, this goes for CSCs too not just DSLRs), but always admired the Pentax build quality and backwards compatibility.

I was delighted when Pentax and Ricoh joined forces, hopefully it will lead to some great products going forward, I think there is a lot each company can learn from one another (personally I'm praying for a series of fixed lens compacts, GR style, based on the limited pancake lenses (or perhaps a step zoom incorporating 2 or 3 of the focal lengths) with weather sealing).

Quite intrigued by the MX1, but also finding it difficult to resist the GXR at the current giveaway prices!

Looking forward to getting some shots up here, I can see some people are already getting some great images out of the GR.

Too many temptations are being offered!
