There goes another one…

Yes, another prized treasure has left the building. I have, as of yesterday, sold my Ricoh GR III Street Edition; you will no longer be seeing it on this website nor on my social media.

I let it go not because it was a “bad” camera. Au Contraire, it is a great camera with a very sharp lens! It has great functionality and options for JPEG simulations. Not to mention its compact size. However, I released it back into the wild because it was no longer fitting in with my overall shooting style. What do I mean by that? Well… I have been using my viewfinder more and more since I’ve been shooting film as it serves me better for composition. When I would use the Ricoh, I felt like it was a different experience. Sure it is effective and fun because it offers you more angles and allows taking pictures at arms length, but when I’d go back to viewfinder mode it became a burden on myself. My last hoorah to save my GR was to buy the cold-shoe viewfinder but it just was not the same.

The gentleman who bought it seemed like he was going to get some great use out of it so I am glad. With that, I bid thee farewell and dedicate this last picture to the Ricoh GR III Street Edition.

Meant for Each Other
