The Rookie Ricoh Ricoh GR2 One-year Use Summary
Looking at Zhang Aunt's good products on the public test more and more, really water ah! After signing for more than 460 consecutive days on Zhang Aunt’s, plus dive time, it’s considered hardcore. So far only applied for a public test, of course, was mercilessly rejected by Xiao Bian, think of wanting to win the letter must have some original ah, took advantage of these two days took a new keyboard test with code words, pay more than a few jobs next time the public test also A bit underpowered. So the debt owed to gr2 more than a year out of the box to the growth of measuring posts can be regarded as an account of this old friend!
This is actually not a measure, there are a lot of landlord play experience these years, written more messy, with maps and text interspersed with more unreasonable, but the same as the landlord cocoon photography enthusiasts may have some help, hope We understand! The landlord is not a member of the Maoist Party, not a highly affiliated Party member, and it is not a brainwashing person. The equipment used by mainstream and non-mainstream manufacturers has played, and brands have never been considered when recommending equipment to friends. What's more, now the quality of the thousand yuan mobile phone is better than the film era, but how many digital photos can surpass the kiss of victory? After all, equipment is equipment, but in the end it depends on users.
The following is the link of Jingdong BNM, the price of 4299 is very strong!
The following is the gr2 Taobao link, the current Hong Kong market price is about 3900, up more than 300 years ago than a year ago.
There have been ten years of playing photography, and it has inevitably come from the equipment party to buy and buy the old road. Fortunately, GR2 has not lost the camera for more than a year. The film machine that I played before put down the watch and started playing digital (like the age of exposure) from the 400-megapixel Konica Minolta telephoto machine to the Canon 500d, 7d, 5d2, Fuji X100, and picked up the film again. Mx, Fuji GS645 bumpers, Mamiya C330, plus various shots in and out, really account for the wages. That year was also young and strong, carrying a full-loaded Kata Hornet 220 wading into Tibet to run in Tibet, and now this old arm and legs can't stand! In addition, the whipped cream-like slices were really too greasy. They were completely uninterested in the big aperture, the air cutting machine, and the ultra-wide-spread. Instead, the 35mm and 50mm, which are usually mediocre, were more like tea. So the smaller the machine is, the smaller it is and the more interesting it is. Now except for occasional commercial shooting, mobile phones and GR2 are my mainstay.
I believe that most of the small partners who come to see the GR system evaluation are small partners who have already reached the intersection of equipment miniaturization. If there is any purchase intention, they should be hesitant on Fuji, Sony and Ricoh GR. Tangled too. The landlord was hesitant about the Fuji X100 and the Ricoh GR generation for the first time when he thought about his portable device. After all, the landlord is an appearance party. The x100 problem that has just emerged is a lot of problems. Saying x100 is really a machine that people love and hate, straight out of the color really like it, but the focus, life, cache speed to no friends (dead horses dp Department of disobedience), but the battle has been perfect but the landlord has not given up, when Fuji made a full-scale show and must join in! (As a result, Fuji played medium format for five years and had no chance to lose.) Now that we are talking about x100, the landlord can only say a few more words. Before learning about the grassroots photographer Liu Tao, the landlord complained about the x100 slag focus. However, after reading his works and interviews, the landlord really did a deep reflection. The most important thing for photography is not the lens, but the head behind the lens. ! (Interested to search for Grinch1982 on microblogging) He took advantage of the hyperfocal distance to shoot off x100 slags and captured so many decisive decisive moments! So stop complaining and promote yourself is the king! So hard to trap the focus and hyperfocal blind shot let the landlord's x100 revived!
Although the x100 is small, it still cannot be made extremely portable. It is not too big on the belt. It is too cumbersome to put it in the bag. The neck is still afraid of bumping. To put it plainly, it is a pan with a protruding lens! At this time, Ricoh released GR2. The one she missed that year must be held this time! In fact, the GR2 upgrade is minimal, at best it is a mid-term change, almost the same quality control manipulation, compared with the generation of cost-effective is not high, this is why the only one out of the box on the aunt aunt. When the landlord decided to purchase the Ricoh GR series for the second time, he did not hesitate. He wanted a camera with a good enough picture quality to actually put the bag in! No matter how good the camera can't be carried around, it's in vain!
In fact, it is also possible to plug in pockets and have high-quality equipment. Today, more than half of the pictures on the Internet come from mobile phones. The world's most influential photography contest is the iPhone Photo Contest! However, there is still a gap between mobile phones and cameras in print output and post-processing. So choose GR series for the landlord is to make up for the phone's print output and post processing short board.
So in the end is the choice of a generation or a second generation? The two generations are almost identical in quality and control. The biggest upgrade is the addition of wifi. When the landlord purchased in October of 15 years, the GR was licensed to be about 3300, and GR2 was about 3600. Only 300 yuan less than the difference between the number of WIFI more WiFi function, coupled with the GR2 itself upset has just listed, refurbished machines should be minimal, so chose the Hong Kong Bank GR2.
There should be beautiful pictures here! Originally the box has been found out to make up for a group of photos taken out of the box, unfortunately GR2 to accompany me to travel almost every day to carry, basic is also a battle is almost finished, it is not able to shoot texture, just take a few shots with a mobile phone Just look. In addition, GR2 is indeed a bit of connotation of the little prince, not too photogenic, unlike the x100 to shoot it casually are forced to shoot.
â–¼ GR2 fuselage coating is still relatively wearable, more than a year high frequency use only the body corner of some oil phenomenon. If nail polish is used to polish it is still good.
â–¼ The Mode Dial has a locking button that is really good to use and will not accidentally miss touches like the x100, resulting in missed shot moments. However, wearing gloves to operate the power switch and shutter feel bad in winter. In addition, the shutter button has been used for more than one year.
â–¼The lens equivalent focal length 28mm, the viewfinder range and iPhone. The lens quality is relatively good, especially the distortion control, when the full open 2.8 aperture vignetting is more obvious. But for the landlord is not a problem, whether it is ps or mobile phone post-processing, the penultimate step is always to increase the dark corner.
One of the selling points of the Ricoh GR series is single-handed operation. All controls are within the control range of the right thumb and forefinger. The common operation does not need to enter the menu, which can ensure the fastest speed to set the camera and complete the shooting. This victory over Fuji X70 and Nikon Coolpix A.
â–¼ The retractable lens is a guarantee of a real pocket machine, but it does not have a good face value. In addition can not UV mirror, wiping the lens is also very troublesome.
â–¼ The pop-up flash has a much higher value, but it has a low flash index and is especially power consuming and has a low frequency of use.
â–¼ and iPhone7p screen size is quite, of course, a lot thicker. Putting it into the jeans pocket was a bit laborious, injurious and uncomfortable. However, there is no problem with putting a sweater pocket into a sweater for fall/winter.
The appearance is so few, after all, GR2 fight is not the appearance is the connotation, the following focus on the sample film to talk about the use of GR2 feel it.
experience feelingsAs a portable camera, the purpose of my GR2 purchase is very clear. It is to improve the quality of instant photo sharing without adding too much weight. Instant sharing is certainly more convenient for mobile phones, but mobile phones are limited by the size of the photosensitive elements, color depth, and resin lenses, and the low-light imaging quality and post-processing space are relatively limited. GR2 can solve this contradiction very well. GR2 image format I always set to RAW + jpg, generally use jpg and mobile phone app editing to share, if particularly good photos can also go home with lr and ps fine processing. However, the photos below are GR2's jpg straight out plus mobile app, and some are still compressed photos downloaded from a WeChat circle of friends (lazy cancer late ah).
According to the method of first suppressing and relieving, we must first talk about shortcomings. Speaking of GR2's most criticized problem is the problem of white balance. It is true that the problem of straight-out is obvious in the case of indoor tungsten light or slightly complex artificial light. Of course, saving the RAW format can be solved by post-correction, but it takes more time. For the jpg format used for mobile phone sharing, I would choose to deal with black and white in the face of particularly white balance problems.
â–¼ personal feeling GR2 black and white mode is particularly suitable for low-key photos, there is a strong sense of heavy and more details remain in place.
â–¼ sweep a street on the way to and from work, light, low-key, non-aggressive
Although GR2 is a one-handed operation of a God machine in a card machine, I think that the logic of exposure compensation operations that are frequently used needs to be improved. For example, when you want to set the macro or white balance by using the five-digit key during the operation of exposure compensation, you must press the ok key to exit the exposure compensation operation, and then perform other settings. This step, which is more, has not been adapted to the landlord, and often makes mistakes. When you press the shutter half of the exposure compensation button, you should exit the exposure compensation adjustment so that you can capture or complete other settings more quickly, and you should not use the up and down operation of the five-digit key after the exposure compensation bar has been exhaled.
â–¼ The equivalent 28mm lens angle is well adapted, almost the same as the iPhone, skilled after the hyperfocal distance or trap focus capture or even blind shots are very easy.
Another aspect that is not satisfactory to GR2 is charging and battery life. In terms of charging, the original manufacturer does not provide a charger. It is necessary to know that users facing the GR2 are not a photographic camera with a battery. Fortunately, a product with a few tens of units can overcome the charger. In addition, when the air temperature is too low, the power flow is too erratic. At least 0 degrees Celsius goes to the emperor the previous two days. The power-off of the photo is particularly severe, and the power consumption is erratic. One cell will show one cell left, and the cell will turn off and then turn up one cell. If this is true in the northeast, four batteries are really needed to be able to go out.
â–¼ Several black and white films.
Compared to the camera operation, GR2 official support app is a big bug, each use has a serious impact on mood, remote shooting can not be used even if, but the wifi transmission speed is slow, the operation of anti-human is too should not! But also not updated for 10,000 years! It is also the original wifi function, ah, the transmission speed is actually slower than my Toshiba wifi card, the connection is also special power consumption, pass a cell phone in the pass jpg to jpg camera battery is basically fast charging. In the process of transmission, the mobile phone is still unable to enter the screen, and consumes power with the mobile phone.
â–¼anti-human app
This anti-day app is used by anyone who knows! On several occasions, the landlord almost broke the phone! First of all, there is no classification of raw and jpg files. This is fine and acceptable. Each time you pick a picture, it is still OK. But the most bug is the horizontal sliding gesture from brain remnants to take off! This app does not support the sliding multi-selection of the iPhone. It must be checked one-by-one and one or two. It is not easy to quickly select a large number of photos. If you inadvertently slide your finger at any position on the screen, then Congratulations! You successfully jumped to the local album page or remote camera page in the tabbar below! Then you slip back and Nima wants to choose again! ! Each use really has a psychological shadow, ah, choose a photo is also more exciting than playing Russian roulette! I also hope that I can solve it through updates and I haven't updated it for nearly a year. The landlord has given up.
As for other aspects, GR2 is really nothing to be picky about. Like the high feeling on the Internet, the landlord said that ISO1600 is acceptable, after all, most of the time is just for network sharing. Yes, a few days ago in the Royal Park, I do not know if there is no relationship with the low temperature, when the shooting mode actually crashed! The screen is stuck, the lens can not shrink back, including the switch button no response! The problem was restored after forcibly removing and inserting the battery, causing a false alarm.
Next must be to boast about this qualified pocket machine! Do not talk about manipulation and talk about color. Personally think that in the production of digital cameras, the unique color of the Fuji and Ricoh GR series. Fuji's straight out almost does not need any later period, that is thanks to Fuji's so many years of experience in film and color management. The reason why Ricoh's color is good is to say that a good point is unique, and it is difficult to hear that color reproduction is not in place. Today's stringent color management has made the major manufacturers tend to be consistent in the tendency of hair coloring and adjustment, which also led to straight out of film without characteristics. In fact, recalling that the era of film and the current small group of people who are still burning money in pursuit of film tastes are actually not looking for the joy of color. Imagine that the design of the cartridges in each factory was quite interesting. When we look at the color of the cartridges, we know which color of the film performs best. Using different films in the same scene can capture very different photos.
The positive mode of GR2's performance against the sky blue is simply counter-natural, and the deep colors almost do not need to be late. Of course, this one still uses snapseed to make a slight adjustment and add a vignette.
â–¼ The complementary colors of yellow and blue are also areas where GR2 is good at. Even though it is a Japanese manufacturer and was acquired by Pentax, the hair color is not at all Japanese.
â–¼ is still yellow, GR film positive mode tends to be reddish, scenery is also okay, take a picture of the environment, or do not straight out, go home honest and original skin tone tone.
â–¼ The red performance is also very strong, personally think that lowering the 1 / 3 file exposure is more suitable for GR2 to play its strength.
â–¼ The warm and cold treatment of the light and dark areas at sunrise and sunset is also characterized by a clear blue color in the dark areas.
When it comes to GR series, how can we not talk about the high contrast black and white Moriyama Avenue model. In fact, this model is quite large for the loss of details of the picture, usually play is also OK, all day with a high contrast black and white straight out really need a bit of courage, is not to destroy the film oh. Fortunately, GR2 has a built-in raw processing function. The landlord generally only shoots in the positive mode and retains the raw format. If one wants to create high-contrast black and white, it can be adjusted in the camera.
â–¼ Just bought the camera specially to go to the Happy Valley's Halloween night to play the rear curtain to increase the contrasting black and white mode, and took a lot of horror movies.
The GR2 built-in flash index is not high, but the emergency is enough. This sister paper was ready to come to scare us, the landlord turned back curtain red eye flash. Sister Paper directly forcing 2 seconds, chasing me to play, it is estimated that to see the photo have to beat me.
The other big advantage of GR2 is of course portable. Last year, the landlord climbed Wugong Mountain twice. They took GR2 and x100 for the first time, and only GR2 for the second time. There is no influence on GR2 where hands and feet are used along the road. All the way to meet the donkey carrying a SLR, the mood can not be better.
â–¼ Snapseed to cool the color temperature, but also come out to point the cold taste of Leica.
▼ The first time I climbed Wugong Mountain, the dense fog was not seen. The second time the mountain was green, I could see the clouds and the sea of ​​sunrise. I was just lucky. I would like to use this group to process raw slices with lr, but take a look at the quality of Zhang Aunt's image compression, plus GR2 is basically used for timely sharing, but also sent a version of mobile phone app processing.
â–¼ Shoot the sunrise and sunset Compared to the SLR or interchangeable lens system, the GR2's fixed focus disadvantage is revealed, and the shooting angles are similar. If you want to take a different perspective, you can only run continuously.
â–¼ The figure's tripod and GR2 are also worthy of a match, plus the phone clip and then to the mobile phone to connect the charging treasure, take a delay and settle properly!
The GR2's focusing system feels good. After all, the x100 is used for a few years. Most of the landlord's cameras do not use multi-point focus, servo focus, etc. The GR2 also uses single focus and single shots. So for the GR2's multi-point focus, servo shooting, continuous shooting have no say. Personally feel that single focus is not accurate enough, so generally I only use the GR2's precise focus function, the focus frame is smaller than a single point.
In addition, manual focus is often used for hyperfocal distance and trap shooting during street sweeping. After selecting manual focus, the hyperfocal range is displayed on the right of the viewfinder, which is very convenient. At the same time with the close viewfinder to blind shot, it is simply a street artifact!
â–¼ GR2 macro shooting is much better than the Fuji x100 series, the film is fully available. Will not be as poor as the x100 series close-up spherical aberration control!
â–¼The equivalent 28mm lens of the GR2 is still difficult to photograph when building a building. Fortunately, the built-in level meter is easy to use. A little attention can be paid to controlling the wide-angle perspective, although it is not as shocking as the wide angle of 14mm.
â–¼ wide-angle shooting Sometimes correct perspective is essential, here Amway a special picture perspective correction app, skrwt, simply artifact, who use who knows!
â–¼ Shooting on the beach in the sea, still have to pay attention to the camera's waterproof and dustproof, especially the GR2's telescopic lens, I really worry about the problem of entering the sand. Fortunately, a lot of beaches have been running this year, there has been no phenomenon of kasha.
The GR2's snapping ability is still good, this does not use hyperfocal distance, single-shot single-shot can catch up.
â–¼ Straight out of jpg's tolerance is worse than the SLR, later the use of mobile apps to save the sky can only be this way, but with raw this situation to save the glare overflow problem is not.
â–¼ Cloudy sky and reef details are kept well, sharpness is enough.
â–¼ When I was walking in Vietnam, I encountered a rare colorful cloud. At that time, there was only GR2. I took this picture with a 50mm cut pattern, and the network was still sufficient.
â–¼ Rent a motorbike ride every day in Vietnam, only the GR2 pocket machine is the most convenient ah, see worthy shots, stop taking pictures after leaving, in one go, SLR backpack does not want to come out.
â–¼ The following is a film of Shandong Peninsula, which was treated with snapseed and vsco. Personally think that these two apps are perfect match.
GR2 is light, but the limit shutter for low-light hand-held is not too low, and the stability of one-handed or two-handed operation is not as good as x100 or SLR. The same is the handheld 1/10 second shooting, x100 success rate is much higher than the GR2. In addition, the general-purpose top-mounted flash unit GR2 can also be used, but it can only be used after entering the menu settings.
In the end, it was a film that had just been taken to the emperor. It happened to be between the two haze. It was a good few days. In addition to the cold season, the emperors in the off-season are good, and the number of tickets is relatively low. Even the Great Wall has few people.
Did not expect to write so long, and finally had to symbolically sum up two sentences. First of all, the Ricoh GR2 is a very good camera, but like the Fuji x100 series, I never recommend it to friends around the camera, of course, because the fixed focus is not very friendly to entry players, plus a more professional operation Mode, if only use the auto file, the white people use GR and x100 to make a film and mobile phones are almost the same. Second, GR2's white balance and color are really unique, and the equivalent 28mm lens is also destined for commercial shooting. Therefore, it is a camera that is recorded on the go. There is no need to pluck the Maoist Party, the High Feeling Party, and the High-Latitude Party. It is a task to get a real-time sharing photo that is better than the quality of the phone. If you have to work with GR2, I believe it can only be a street photographer's favorite, lightweight, low-key, convenient one-handed operation, fully available focusing system, 28mm focal length of the humanities are all for street photography tailor-made Build it!
Therefore, Ricoh GR2 is destined to be a niche camera, only one or two out of the box can be seen from Aunt Zhang. Of course, GR2's offline channels also have to tweet, and turned around the equipment city of Wuhan, there is not even a spot, only a few spoke really need them to help book. From this point on, Fuji X70 and Nikon Coolpix A will be discontinued.
In the end, open the link that was purchased by Taobao in October 2015 and found that this cargo port line has risen from 3599 to 3899 when it was bought! It feels like a hundred million dollars are made. GR2 is my most valuable digital camera!
