Upgrading my Ricoh GR with a TTArtisan Viewfinder

Mini review of the TTArtisan 28mm viewfinder for the Ricoh GR. What's great about this one is that it is only $40, but full metal body and glass optics. Much cheaper than the official Ricoh one, but also much nicer than the $15 plastic ones offered before.

definitely a great camera, the in-camera black and white mode is the closest thing you're gonna get digitally to a tri-x film look. I regret selling mine ages ago.

@RyougiVector Жыл бұрын

I bought one that is labelled for the 21mm version, and when i put my eye up to it, the picture matches the viewfinder image, but it also works very nicely with the 28mm field of view. I don't see any framelines tho. At the same time, it has the rubber ring built into the viewfinder, so maybe they updated the design after this video came out?

Yes. I love my original GR. But as a Fuji shooter, how can I make the colors warmer. ??

@LoFiAxolotl Жыл бұрын

the GRII is one of my favorite digital cameras ever... being able to easily shoot one handed is just great! The only complaint i have about the GR series is that the ISO Noise is kinda bad... anything over ISO 800 really quickly falls apart

GRII has 16 Mpx sensor. I guess this is same sensor with sony nex camera series Nex5N, 5R, C3... DXO mark rate iso 1100. It's better than 60D,70D, ...

@snappiness Жыл бұрын

No, thankfully. There's a rubber ring around the back (the one that I mentioned comes off easily if rubbed against something, like in a tight pocket). So haven't had any scratching issues.

Great camera, but too many options for me, and I could never get the focus to work when I set it for street photography, those specific zones would never be in focus. And honestly, I need to look through the lens, I don't like the lcd for framing, especially here in Arizona, too sunny.

I think it destroys the main strengths of these cameras: ease of carry, pocketability and how quickly they can be whipped out and ready to go.

The existence of the 21mm finder makes me wish the Sony ZV-1f was a camera that was remotely worth getting. If they had RAW support like most of Sony’s large sensor compacts, the digital zoom rocker was customizable, and there was phase and not just contrast AF, it’d be tempting. There isn’t any other compact with a lens as wide, and while IQ wouldn’t match a Ricoh GR, 1” sensors aren’t unusable and it’s also half the price. Sticking a cold shoe viewfinder on like the TTA 21mm would be a nifty little kit. Alas, Sony hobbled it for photography.

@nickeanderssonphoto3936 11 ай бұрын

Trying to find info on the magnification on the 28mm vf. Do you know? And also if the ratio is more 4:3 than 3:2. So it seems with Ricohs own viewfinders.

@snappiness 11 ай бұрын

I'm not sure what the magnification is. The ratio is more 3:2. I just recently picked up the GV-1 from Ricoh and it is much nicer - bright, nice frame lines, just way more expensive obviously. This is a nice upgrade though from the cheap plastic ones and I think makes a good budget option. Hope that helps.
