The Ricoh GR1 - A Street Camera Legend Review 

Thanks for your kind words about Dad, I'm sure he'd thank you too! Collecting the great film era compacts is a great pastime, could be expensive but satisfying if you take your time and find them when the deals come around. Thanks much for your comments!

Thanks so much for checking out the video and your kind words, I appreciate it! 😎📸👍🏻

YOUSEF Thanks Brother I appreciate you! 😎🙏🏻👍🏻

Thanks Rick, I appreciate your kind words!

Appreciate your comments thanks!

Incredible find congrats!!

Hi Neil that AF1 is a nice camera! I've seen results from a friend who has one. Great bargain. No offense about the Ricoh. Unlike other reviewers, I'm usually hesitant to review cameras I like, knowing that a positive review might spike prices as I collect them myself and I also want to keep the prices low for everyone. A good example is my "5 Reasons Not To Get A Contax T2." No one knew it at the time, and some hated me for it, but I honestly saw the prices stabilize after we put out that video. It kept the prices from going to the $2000 range and I know I can't take all the credit for it but all I can say was mine was the first video on RU-vid that ever said anything remotely "negative" about the T2. We'll try to keep the hidden gems like the AF1 to ourselves! Cheers :-)

Hi Nicholas, yeah the market for these cameras as well as other high end point and shoots have gotten out of hand. If I were looking to buy today, I'd probably skip these but fortunately I got it a long time ago. But there are still many great cameras under the radar if you look around. Nice to read your comments, thanks!

Hi there and good point! You can either write it down or keep a mental count, none of which works for me because I don't want to be bogged down like that. But since, I always carry a second camera (not a second GR1) it's not a big deal for me if I run out of film because I know I always have a different camera for backup. But for anyone just carrying the GR1 with this issue, you raise a good point because it could be a problem. Thanks for your input!

@@cameralegend1033 Is it clear when the camera shoots its last exposure? I imagine if you lose count it can become a problem unless there's some sort of sound. I just wanna make sure if I choose this camera it won't be a waste in the long term hahaha.

Jessie Effendi It doesn’t make any indicative sound when it’s near the end of the roll, it just loudly rewinds! To be fair, no camera I know has a sound indicator before the roll ends. Your best bet is to seek out one that still works. Might have to pay more for it but at least you’ll have peace of mind. Cheers! 😎📸👍🏻

@@JessieEffendi from what I read, they can break

Thanks for your feedback! Ha yes I know there's a lot more to do on the production side, I've been doing it low budget but I really should ramp it up. Appreciate your comments, thanks!

I like it man, it's like a hostage video. Also good content!

R K Thanks and lol I can see that! Right before the beheading haha 😎👍🏻

Nothing wrong with the sound as far as I am concerned…..

Paul Bu Haha hey you gotta admit it looks like him! 😀👍🏻
