General Comments
The Ricoh GR1v is a superb camera to take anywhere, it is hard to spoil images even if you wish to, however having said that. you can manipulate the image manually if desired. I have owned the full line up pf the gr 1 film camera products but the Gr ! V is by far the best of them. It suits a need perfectly and requires little to no maintenance for many years. It is a great back up camera for other pro 35mm camera's for pro use.
