    Ricoh GR Curious, but confused by versions

    I'm interested in finding a used Ricoh GR (the version before the latest GR II), and I'm getting confused by all the different versions that I see on Ebay. Can you help me sort out which version nomenclature I need to look out for to get the model that I'm trying to target? "I think" I'm...

    I think maybe the designers and manufacturers of compact cameras are going a little wonky in the hea

    Lumix got it right with their LF1, that's why I bought one :).

    Panasonic LF1 slip case?

    Hi Folks, I just took delivery of a DMC-LF1. I have not had a chance take it out yet, but just from a few minutes of handling it so far, I think I will be very happy with it. :) I was wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket slip case or cover that I can purchase for protecting the...

    Film Film Body Recommendation???

    The Bessa rangefinders use focal plane shutters, so they are loud compared to similarly styled RF bodies with leaf shutters. A Konica Hexar AF is in your price range. In normal situations such as shooting in the street, it is virtually a silent camera and the fixed 35mm lens is superb. As others...

    Excellent movie on Netflix

    I saw this on our local PBS station a while back. It was a very fascinating look at the presidential photographer's job. Thanks for mentioning it. A good friend of mine was on the presidential coverage detail for UPI (United Press International) in D.C., and I always enjoyed it when he told me...

    Panasonic Question re: sub $200 Lumix P&S models

    hello, I am not familiar with Panasonic's line of P&S Lumix cameras. Is there a sub $200 model that has similar (or better) features and performance to the Canon HS100? The Canon HS100 is currently priced at around $170 on Amazon. I have had good experiences with Lumix (I have a G1 and GF1). I...

    Fuji Fuji X10/Repair of sensor/Info from contacting Fuji today

    i've been gas'ing for the X10... still managing to hold off for now :smile: I was wondering if anyone knows what happens to the X10s that are currently in stock at stores (amazon, B&H, etc.). How will Fuji handle the replacement of the cameras that are unsold in store inventories?

    Alternatives to Cable, Fios or Direct TV, etc.?

    Sure Deirdre, sounds like fun :smile:. Did you ever go to one of the Bay Area RFF group outings to SFMOMA? I might have seen you at one, but didn't have a chance to introduce myself. Warren

    Alternatives to Cable, Fios or Direct TV, etc.?

    We have never subscribed to cable or satellite. We've always viewed off-the-air broadcast TV. When the US went digital, we stayed with OTA broadcast digital TV using converter boxes on our old sets. Fortunately, we live close to a huge broadcast transmission antenna (Sutro Tower) in San...

    Question for Lightroom users on presets

    I sometimes check out the LR presets for fun, just to preview my image with a different 'look'. I also like the vignetting presets because they are handy to use for a quick vignetting so I don't have to do it manually using other tools. My custom presets are in a different folder. I create...

    Quenching a GAS attack, Superzoom/Bridge vs. High-end compact?

    I should also mention that I currently have a Canon SD300 and Canon A570is. The SD300 is nice because it is shirt pocket-able. I inherited it from a friend who upgraded. It is a very convenient size, and even though it is a few generations old, it still takes decent snapshots. When I take it...

    Quenching a GAS attack, Superzoom/Bridge vs. High-end compact?

    Thanks for your opinion's, everyone. Mal's recent thread about his new Canon SX30is caused my GAS for a superzoom:smile:. His sample shots were very nice. As a long time Nikon system user, I have always hoped for a good Nikon P&S/tiny sensor camera, but it seems that I may have to continue my...

    Quenching a GAS attack, Superzoom/Bridge vs. High-end compact?

    I happened to be checking out the merchandise store of my frequent flyer mileage program, and I saw some interesting offerings in the store. Of course, this resulted in a horrible GAS attack :biggrin:. So my question is: Which do you think would be more fun, a Nikon P100/P500(superzoom), or an...

    B&W Black & White, monotone and sepia

    Thanks BB :) This also happens to be the very first image that I tried processing with Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro (demo version). I am very pleased with the results, and I'll probably be buying a copy soon. I used Tri-X emulation, because it's my favorite B&W film, and one that I know...

    Hello from Across the Hall

    Well, actually from San Francisco by way of Mu-43.com. :biggrin: I recently registered here after being on Mu-43 for over a year. And the reason that I started over there is because I got into Mu-43 gear about a year ago (last March). I have been in photography for 35+ years and I've used...
