  • I don’t think anyone has done an update, no. Honestly, the feature I never expected to want until I got a Ricoh GRIIIx a few months earlier is highlight weighted exposure meeting. Since it’s not an SLR however you can obviously see the histo anyway.

    It has a wee filter ring already for the lens cap to clip into. Apparently some folks just stick a UV filter on and do away with the lens cap.


  • Dpreview has a camera feature search which is how I came across the G1XIII. There isn’t anything else quite like it, and a good used one is well worth it. Even over most of the other premium compacts it has a huge advantage for backpacking by being weather sealed.

    Is there something else you wanted from it, or just looking for new?






  • Okay, my original comment clearly came across as a weasel for COVID denial so sorry for that. Fuck denialism.

    What I meant was that - like flu - it is an endemic respiratory virus which will be nasty but not fatal to most people. In certain contexts masks are less useful (not useless I suppose), and this is particularly in areas where mask use is minimal and strict (e.g. under the nose or constantly being touched without proper hand hygiene).

    So what your cardiologist said could have been a realistic assessment of the current state of COVID, or denialism in which case they’re a dick.











  • Since you’re asking for feedback, I would say the background is a little busy for what I would guess your intent is of having a crisp flower shot.

    The framing might be improved by simply cropping out the tulip on the right completely.

    If you’d been able to swing the camera around to the left a tick, would that have enabled you to not have the trees directly behind the flowers? Even just pushing them to the side of the frame without removing them entirely could have maintained some background interest without having the contrast of the bokeh edges sitting right next to the sharp edges of the in focus flowers.

    This might just be my screen, but it’s a bit dark. Flowers generally like to pop a bit more.

    Good focus regardless.
