simon_fallon Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi all, for some time now I've been thinking about trading in my trusty (but fiddly to operate) Olympus XA for a Ricoh GR1v. Before I do so however, I'd like to learn a bit more about the Ricoh's spec. I have trawled the web and Photo Forum's older pages to little avail. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ricoh's own page(s) have been of little use; it's always the oh-so-important details that make such a difference, such as manual focussing? Bulb setting? Threaded cable release, flash sync speed etc etc... Any help greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_chan4 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Just in case you are not aware, prone to dead LCD is not uncommon with the GR-1v and it is now quite impossible to repair. It may be an issue to look into if you plan to actually use it regularly. Otherwise the lens is very high quality and AF is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_fallon Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks Alan, and no, I wasn't aware of the problem you mention. As yours is so far the only response I shall probably wait a few days and re-post to another forum. I appreciate your help, but I really need to find out more details; as I say, I have been unable to find these so far on any site. Thanks again.
