My Ricoh GR IV, which I preordered right after the announcement, finally arrived. So far, so good. I had a little trouble with the new Ricoh World app, but it’s all working fine now. I haven’t had a chance to test out the camera enough yet to draw too many conclusions. After the initial setup,Continue reading “My Ricoh GR IV Arrived + First Recipe Test”

Introducing the Analog Collection of Recipes!

My Christmas gift to you is The Analog Collection! These six new JPEG Recipes are for the Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx cameras, and will produce results that are reminiscent of analog film. In late-summer I began working on a new Recipe Collection for the GR and GR II, but not very far alongContinue reading “Introducing the Analog Collection of Recipes!”

Ricoh GR III Monochrome

I visited the central coast of California last month, and I used my Ricoh GR III as a monochrome-only model. The only Recipes that I had programmed into the camera were black-and-white, and the only one that I actually shot with was Monochrome Film. This, along with all my other Ricoh Recipes, can be foundContinue reading “Ricoh GR III Monochrome”

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”

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?”
