    I bought in 2020 the X100V (well before Tik Tok and cool kids did!) and at that time I hated, for no reason, the Ricoh GR. I though it was way behind X100s. I sold my X100V in early 2021 (very boring at the end) for an XT3, in a year I went for an XT5, and I was very happy, best decision ever. But I still needed a truly pocketable camera and finally I got my Ricoh GR III HDF. Amongst others, because of you. Well… I’M IN LOVE with it!!!

    hi Faizal and thank you for all your beautiful videos! I have a question that I cannot find any good answers to - how do people take photos if they have imperfect eyesight and have to wear glasses? I noticed that you do wear glasses sometimes and sometimes don't and you mostly look at your screen while shooting, not through the viewfinder. being prescribed glasses for astigmatism just recently I feel completely lost. like, in glasses things are sharp at the distance but the screen is a semi-blur... help! 🙏

      I spent 10 days in Tokyo recently and was surprised to discover that past these busy corners with highscrapers, neons, the crowd and loud music, you find 2 minutes away quiet little alleys with few people and no cars. And most of Tokyo is actually quiet. This city is actually very pleasant for a stay, less tiring than some other fampus cities in the world and a paradise for photographers. I want to go back.
