Bingo. Ricoh gr II, it’s smaller than my phone actually!

It’s a wonderful focal length. I use it a lot on my 35mm camera. I’m thinking of selling my Fuji 16mm and 23mm to get the 18mm.

I’ve never been comfortable with anything below 23mm but I’ve decided to give it a try, we’ll see how it works out. So far I’m just delighted I can slip it in my jeans pocket and walk out the door. 😎

I find 23 is often too tight and 16 is too wide to shoot casually. 16 takes a lot of thought to avoid distorting people. I like the idea of only having 18 and 35.
Persevere -it’s very versatile. Loud elks and Winogrand used 28mm almost exclusively. Lots of inspiration there

Indeed, I love Winogrand’s work!

Like you, I prefer 23 and 35mm. But it’s great to have a camera on you all the time.
The ricoh has a 23mm crop mode, I’ll probably try it a few times. But I’m enjoying the challenge of seeing things with a different perspective, so far. 🙂
I have no idea – you always shoot 23mm, right?
Not really, I shoot mostly 23mm but also a lot of 35mm – this is neither! 😉
So it’s one of the 18mm models? X70?
I’ll give you a hint… It’s not Fuji! 😮
Ricoh GR or iPhone

that’s why we do what we do. Love it. have fun.
I was intrigued by this camera and a while ago I gave it a try and I liked it very much… but now I’m drooling for a Sigma DP2 Quattro
I’m really loving the form factor of the GR II, it’s actually smaller than my phone! 😮 Never heard of that Sigma one, is it recent?
