The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.user135044   | sent on September 13, 2017 Pros: pocket, lens, image quality, controls, bulb 300 seconds, ND filter, wider 21mm quality. Cons: expensive accessories, huddling AF, dust cases on the sensor are reported. Opinion: The GR has a long tradition, over the years has remained faithful to itself with a unmistakable design and approach to photography. At first I got a bit to understand it, the 28mm was a focal point that made me anxious, "too extreme to be non-interchangeable, better to go on a more reassuring 35mm or 40mm," I said, but in the end it remained.rnTechnically is the state of the art of Ricoh, the 28mm has a star quality and pairs with a great sensor without AA filter. At ISO highs the behavior is great, luminance noise is present but of high quality, resembles the film grain, but the color is obvious, but with CaptureOne it completely eliminates it even in iso 3200-6400 without piercing the colors. The approach of commands is special, you use levers and sliders, at first it is blurry, but after half day you control the machine with two fingers of one hand. rnOften often the GR approaches the art of street photography, where I confidentlyEntity has tremendous potential, but it's not just a street-camera, the use in reportage, family, mountain, sea, trekking or MTB exits, is small and can be taken anywhere by expanding photographic opportunities. It has an extra wide wedge that transforms you 28mm into 21mm, pretty expensive, but not so much if you think a quality 21mm f2.8 usually costs important digits. The AF is good, but with little light engaging in fatigue, while the snap-focus function allows you to work in hyperfocal with easy disarming. rnrn |
 | sent on June 01, 2017 Pros: Lens / sensor with very high quality, good ISO hold, extremely comfortable controls, easily customizable / configurable, 10 cm macro focus, 1/4000 to 300s shutter speed, DNG raw file, excellent jpg quality, and The best in the end ... SNAP FOCUS Cons: Lack of tilting screen. AF fairly in crisis with little light. Late shooting with AF enabled. The screen is not touch. Opinion: I was looking for a compact for use mainly for street photography with fixed optics. Reading various reviews and seeing competing machines, I came to the conclusion that Ricoh was the ideal one. Well, once received, expectations have not only been confirmed, but far exceeded! RnOk, it is true that even before receiving it I had read the entire manual several times ... and ok, I also saw several videos about Youtube on the recommended settings ... but within half an hour I was already completely set up and navigated easily between the menus (much more comfortable than the Nikon ones with which I can make a direct comparison) rnParting from the configurability, you Have 3 keys to assign optional features and 3 settings on the ring to record their own configurations to call on the fly. This means that within 1 second you can switch from ideal settings to very strong external light to the ideal for dark interior without even having to lookThe other feature that I find comfortable is the snap focus, that is, the focus area. From the menu you can preset the focusing distance and, based on the selected aperture, the depth of field within which the subject is considered in focus is displayed. This is obvious to low-light focusing and resets the shutter lag, also switching to AF, focusing the subject, and returning to snap focus mode, also indicates the distance to which the subject is located. RnComoda, But not indispensable, the ability to disable disabling the screen and ignition of the machine to go unnoticed. It is very useful to shoot in manual with speeds up to 300s. It almost always avoids the use of a remote shot at night. RnInsomma if the 28mm focal point you like, I do not think there is much to think about:) rn |
  | sent on April 22, 2017 Pros: Compact, enters the pocket of a shirt; Light, for what it offers; Sharp optics already at 2.8; Ergonomics Perfect positioning of the controls, so that it can be used with one hand; Customization of the functions really incredible; Good hold at high ISO, or good up to 3200 and can still be used at 6400, especially in view of a conversion to black and white; Wi-Fi that can be convenient; Silence responsiveness and ignition speed; Focus distance in macro mode, SNAP Focus! Cons: Lack of tropicalization, or at least resistance to atmospheric agents and/or dust; AF not super fast in the dark but still very good in good light. Opinion: I think you understand my love for this little machine already from the long list of pros; I had in the past the x70, which I sold to then move to GR II. The focal 28 I like very much and in my opinion is the best to tell places and situations; I understand that this is an extremely personal opinion, but in photography what is not? I don't think I've ever had such a good feeling with a photographic medium. I have to outfit-also for work-two 5d Mark III, some L-series lens and I have had in the past other machines, including other brands (from Nikon, to Pentax, passing through the Sony A7): None gave me a comparable photographic joy. I will seem exaggerated, but I would invite anyone to try this little monster, because if the focal is the right one for you, you will hardly need to look anything else in the market. I am aware of the existence of the Leica Q, and I admit that it is my forbidden dream; Maybe someday I can afford it, but I don't think I'd give up the GR because of the portability. I look forward to the presentation of the third version, hoping that it will keep all the pros and that are filled some small gaps, but for now I live my love in a dispunked way. |
 | sent on February 24, 2017 Pros: Super compact, feather weight, portability, high iso held up to 3200 colors and bw 6400, APS-C sensor bayer, no AA filter, fixed focus, razor sharp lens on the whole fotrogramma also TA, quality display, camera body magnesium, wifi, retractable flash, flash sync speed 1/2000 sec, shutter on the lens, RAW in DNG format (such as Leica), speed ignition turned off by impressive, write buffer illimitao, minimum shutter speed up to 300 sec (great for night photos), shot noise nonexistent, bright colors. Cons: a low contrast AF in critical condition (problem since you can cheat with Snap / hyperfocal mode), battery life improved Opinion: I finally left my Leica M9 for this compact. You'll think I'm crazy, but I think it is an undervalued GRII Ricoh machine. To start the car embrace a philosophy similar to leica about the aesthetics of its bodies, not by chance today, it reflects the same digital camera body of its film predecessors (see Ricoh G1), this means that aesthetics not having undergone major changes over time, it means that funziona.rnIn Secondly GRII the choosing for his philosophy, is a simple machine, conceived and designed by those who actually use it, a responsive machine, sileziosa and invisible to the eye of others. Its lens (28mm equivalent FF) is compared to a 28mm Leica, because of its clarity, this is also thanks to his generous sensor APS-C matrix bayer without AA filter, it is sharp throughout the frame already at f2.8 . The machine also processes raw files in Adobe's DNG (the same format used on the universal format really rich color camera Leica) bodies and dettagli.rnInoltre despiteThe plan to its 16mpx and dating back to 2015 in my opinion is by far larger than the new Fuji X70, which compared the final yield, the fuji is really high iso pessima.rnAgli the GRII beats by far my Leica M9, ??where died at 800 iSO, while the GRII allows me to peacefully take in 3200 and 6400 in white color nero.rnL'autofocus albeit slow in critical light conditions, the machine allows you to quickly switchare to snap mode (iperfocale dedicated and studied ad hoc with distance scale depending on the aperture used, all conveniently visible on the display) .rnPersonalmente I think the GRII a perfect machine for landscape photos, street and reportage.rnInizialmente will seem like a machine devoid of meaning, and if not understood his philosophy it is hard to take pictures. Intesamente later after using it for at least a week after the purchase, bringing it around every day, you will find that due: to the lens, hyperfocal, snap mode, sileziosità, competezza, general versatility .. The machine è a deadly weapon that will allow you to shoot without being noticed ravvicinate.rnrnQui distances to find the quality tests compared with other brands: rnrnhttps: //www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen? attr18 = daylight & attr13_0 = ricoh_grii & attr13_1 = fujifilm_x70 & attr13_2 = leica_m_monochrom_typ246 & attr13_3 = fujifilm_x100t & attr15_0 = B & attr15_1 = B & attr15_2 = B & attr15_3 = B & attr16_0 = 400 & attr16_1 = 400 & attr16_2 = 400 & attr16_3 = 400 & normalization = full & widget = 1 & x = 0 & y = 0 |
 | sent on November 15, 2016 Pros: image quality, compact, lightweight, controls arranged rationally, lens Cons: Lack tilting display, EVF, tropicalization Opinion: I bought it out of curiosity, convinced that within a few days I would have returned to the sender ...... and instead became a traveling companion! Accomplice the size and weight, it fits easily in your pocket (even jeans!) And without sacrificing image quality that, indeed, is at high levels. I believe that the absence of the anti-aliasing filter contributes greatly to achieve excellent results in terms of sharpness and detail. The colors are played, for me, very very well. The beginning commands leave disoriented; after a while 'you realize how well, however, are placed! For the Street is considered the queen machine, but I would advise also for portraits, landscapes (!!) and architecture. Not satisfied, I bought from Japan even the wide converter that drives the Ricoh 21mm (FF) allowing you to venture onto the landscape, with excellent results. The raw are of excellent workability while the JPEG are pleasant at low iso.rnIn network often reads the dust problem in the sensor; when I si is presented, but must in fact be taken not to expose troppo.rnTra cons I put things missing that, in fact, represent a hope for the next incarnation of this great GR: in particular a mini EVF (like Sony RX100) is a necessity for sunny days especially when it is quite difficult to rely solely display.rnIn summary: congratulations to Ricoh for baked qiesto little gem, at a price all things considered affordable (patiently lie dipoco offers above 600 euro) |
 | sent on November 12, 2016 Pros: compactness, portability, light, image quality (either JPG or RAW), high ISO estate, coupled sensor and lens, quick menu, display quality, excellent materials, wifi, retractable flash, so many effects, the b / n is fabulous . Cons: no small viewfinder, Sony RX type IV, for the rest fully meets my needs. Opinion: it is all presented in stunning Pro.rnmacchina. in a body so small there is all the necessary technology and lots and lots of quality immagini.rnamo Fuji, but a matter of size I preferred this small and beautiful GR II to Fuji X100S. the photo quality (high) is similar, but the GR is the true pocket and really fits in your pocket. It is a machine that stands out and remains very discreet, very good thing when you want to photograph without much noticed. It looks almost like a toy. once contested and set ad hoc, you'll immediately notice the potential, of the materials carefully (good) and above all put the command at the right point. lightweight, fast, able to churn out amazing photos. is the strepitosa.rnla leave almost always coupled optical / sensor f2.8 and is very sharp, even to bordi.rni JPG are great, strange thing is that the RAW often are still better than the JPG and working benissimo.rnmacchina ( right) recommended. it is a pleasure! rnnonIt is the ideal machine for those with big hands. the car is really small (like a compact from a few Euros), but the compromise of those who want the maximum compactness, without sacrificing quality. behold, the GR II is the perfect machine to take with itself! |
 | sent on July 13, 2016 Pros: Compact, black and white quality, very versatile. Cons: Only thing (solve) the dust that enters when the machine is turned on. Opinion: I own a Ricoh gr (equal to Ricoh GrII) photographer for some time the street scene and in addition to this photographer with Leica, Nikon and Sony, including DSLR and mirrorless, photographer almost exclusively in BW Ricoh is remarkable for compactness and image quality, excellent BW with lots of grays and a remarkably usable files in post, the only flaw is that precisely the dust if you leave the machine switched on and therefore always ready to shoot in through the front of the lens to dirty the slide which is in front of the sensor, I I often use GW-3 wide conversion lens mounted in front avoids the problem, or its adapter supplied with the camenra with a skylight or uV filter, of course in this way affects the beauty of the extreme portability that characterizes the Ricoh Gr, or turn on / turn off the machine continuously so that the front closing prevents dust from entering, there are those who also use a small vacuum cleaner after each session to vacuum debris from the front, I read lots of reviews and some that use itcompare the beauty of surrender to the Leica Elmarit 28mm, a machine can not miss if you are passionate about street photography, in each case who the test and knows what is using never left it. |
 | sent on September 22, 2015 Pros: Compactness, lightness, controls and regulations, quality of raw file is that jpeg, speed, convenience Cons: L 'lens ring could come loose and fall off by removing the chamber from the pocket of jeans.rnLa battery charges only to' interior of the room, an external charger must be purchased separately. Opinion: I took this compact during a trip to Japan, where I wanted to leave home SLRs and their weight and size; I was not sure if I would regret or less of 'purchase (700 € in Ljubljana), the price is not really low (in Tokyo is about 570 €), after ver also tested Panasonic LX100 (does not fit in your pocket) sony rx III (not economical for my ruddy hands), Sony rx IV (the same as before and overpriced) .rnNon could do better buy! RNLA quality files I find excellent, both raw (dng) both jpeg: sensor Sony APSC without antialiasing filter is also relied on the lens (28mm equivalent fixed) is defined and exceptionally clean from the center to the edges, almost no vignetting; some flare in strong backlight or against the sun, but nothing special; so no zoom (but personally I find it a valuable, do not waste time zooming ha ha ha!), you can choose to shoot in 35mm and 47mm.rnLa GR II fits easily in the pocket of his jeans, and even in that shirt, very light and well built equippto the strap to the wrist, very robust to tatto.rnVelocissima from completely off to first shot in less than a second, very ergonomic and each button in its place, everything is done with the right hand; obviously built by those who use daily this type of rooms, fantastic! Af fast even with modest light, possibility to use auxiliary AF light (green) flash .rnIl is relatively small but powerful, ideal to use in combination with an external flash in slave (wireless-enabled flash) .rnVery low profile, invisible machine than by to 'eye, the snap shot function or the fast shutter always activated, it becomes a war machine for street! Absolutely silenziosa.rnOttimo and super-rich menu, easy to use, great personaizzazione various tasti.rnOttimi and easily activated effects (only jpeg course), especially the BN high contrast, positive film and process incrociato.rnMolto good recovery of the shadows even at high ISO (up to 6400 lavorabilissimi, it goes over to BN) .rnI files that come out are very well contrasted and lookC as you learn to know meglio.rnAlcune photos taken with the GR II you can be found in my galleria.rnCiao at all. |
