Update Your Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx to Get Negative Film

If you haven’t updated your Ricoh GR III and/or GR IIIx, be sure to do so right now! Ricoh just added a new Picture Control Effect called Negative Film. I have no doubts that this will become just as popular as the Positive Film effect. And, of course, I’m already working on some Ricoh RecipesContinue reading “Update Your Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx to Get Negative Film”

Ricoh Recipes App Update!

The Ricoh Recipes App just received an update today! If your phone didn’t automatically update the app, be sure to do so manually now. What’s in this update? Some bug fixes, plus the ability to search for recipes by name was added. A new Recipe Collection for the GR III and GR IIIx was alsoContinue reading “Ricoh Recipes App Update!”

Ricoh GR III + B&W Negative Recipe + Snow

Today was a snow day, so I put on some warm clothes, grabbed my Ricoh GR cameras, and headed out to do some photography. There’s something special about photographing in freshly falling snow—despite the lack of weather-sealing, the Ricoh GR cameras do just fine, spending most of the time in my pocket staying warm andContinue reading “Ricoh GR III + B&W Negative Recipe + Snow”

Ricoh Recipes App Makes The Rounds

I’m currently working on the next Recipe Collection, and once that’s finished it will be published on this website and on the Ricoh Recipes App. In the meantime, I thought I would share a few articles I found on the web regarding the App. Enjoy!

The Ricoh Recipes App is a mobile recipe library containing 40 JPEG recipes for Ricoh GR cameras!

New: Ricoh GR IIIx

Ricoh just announced a new GR camera: the Ricoh GR IIIx! This camera appears to be identical to the GR III except for the lens, which is 39mm full-frame equivalent (instead of 28mm). I think this is a great move by Pentax, because I sometimes find the GR lens to be too wide-angle. I oftenContinue reading “New: Ricoh GR IIIx”

Are Ricoh Recipes Compatible With Pentax DSLRs?

One question that I’ve received many times since I published this website is: are Ricoh Recipes compatible with Pentax DSLR cameras? Pentax and Ricoh are made by the same company, after all. I don’t have a good answer because I don’t own a Pentax DSLR. If there is crossover compatibility it is completely unintentional—a happyContinue reading “Are Ricoh Recipes Compatible With Pentax DSLRs?”

Understanding the Ricoh Recipe Collections

I’ve created (as of this writing) four recipe collections that are compatible with the Ricoh GR & GR II cameras, and four recipe collections that are compatible with the Ricoh GR III. Each collection contains five recipes (plus a bonus recipe available to Patrons on the Ricoh Recipes App!). The four GR & GR IIContinue reading “Understanding the Ricoh Recipe Collections”

What Are JPEG Recipes? Why Should I Use Them?

Welcome to Ritchie’s Ricoh Recipes! I’m Ritchie Roesch, the creator of this website and all of the recipes here. The number one question that I expect to receive is: What are JPEG recipes? Recipes are camera settings that allow you to achieve various looks straight-out-of-camera without the need for post-processing. You dial in the specificContinue reading “What Are JPEG Recipes?
