The Full Frame Ricoh GR.. Probably the Best $500 I've Spent on Film Photography (GR1, GR1v, GR1s Review)
The 35mm Film Ricoh GR1 is a great alternative to the Fuji X100V, and probably the best $500 I've spent on film photography. This is the first version, the later versions include the GR1s and GR1v. While I normally use a Leica MP, this pocket camera is always there for me, especially in situations when the MP or the M6 is a little awkward. If you're considering the contax t3, contax t2, GR 10, or even the digital Ricoh GR iii or GR iiix, then this might be a great fit for you.
All the black and white pictures in this video were made on Ilford HP5, pushed 2 stops (HP5++) and Delta 3200, developed on Ilfotec HC on the AXLE CR1 Rotary Processor.
The other black and white film stocks I use are Delta 400 and FP4+. I use colour films as well, a few being Kodak portra 160, 400, 800, Color plus, Ultramax and Gold, Fujifilm PRO160NS and PRO400H.

Jeremy, you’re a gift to the community. I love the way you photo.
Thank you… :)
Ive always wanted one of these as my film point and shoot. Great video JT.
Thank you! :)
I've always been curious about the GR1, and you make it very tempting. I have a digital GRII that's very pocketable and sort of half-scratches that take-it-anywhere itch, albeit in a digital form. The GR1 seems like a joy to shoot---maybe even more so since you know it won't last forever. I hope I find a great deal on one some day. Great shots as usual! Thanks, Jeremy.
Yes! It’s a joy to shoot! So many personally valuable pictures of mine have been made on that camera..
Fantastic review thank you I’m trying to find a 35mm point and shoot at an affordable price. I own. 120 point and shoot Fuji GA645 W 45 mm lens a Horseman FA45 and a Fuji Pro 2 digital. A 35 mm is what I need now for the way I shoot my street work.
I also have one the GR1s in light golden colour. Happy to know you've one.
Beautiful!
It is a great camera, maybe the best p&s film camera ever made.
I bought my GR1s 3 years ago and i use it a lot and it still works almost perfectly - only the film counter top lcd sometimes doesnt work perfectly.
I think that it is an urban myth, that they die so "quickly". I talked to a lot GR1 shooters and not one of them had problems besides the top lcd - and fourtnately everything is reparable nowadays!
But i really hope that this myth that those cameras quickly die keeps alive for a long time, otherwise they will easily cost more then a contax t3 or yashica t5.
Yes, I've owned a number of these cameras and all of them presented a problem or two sooner or later.
Great video!!
I love my GRIII, is the body that inspires me the most to document and enjoy photography, and similarly when using film I find my self gravitating to my Rollei 35. There is something truly magical on compact size cameras.
Possibly my dream of merging both experiences will be with the GR28 LTM lens on a Leica IIIF body
Oh man yes! That would be a dream combination!
I also have the rollei 35. It's a great little camera. A new Rollei 35 AF is expected to be released this summer. I'm not sure what the specs will be yet, but a new film camera maintaining most of the old body should be a hit.
Always wanted one but the r1 does the job pretty well so far
The r1 is amazing too!
amazing video!
i enjoyed the photographs you have shown. whats your usual development combos? especially the hp5 looks great.
For the picture in this video it was ilfotec HC @20 degrees for 14.5 minutes on a rotary @75rpm!
I made a similar love story for my Ricoh GR2 a while back. Always thought about getting a film GR but boy do they not instill any level of confidence :(
Haha!! Yes if there was a camera I wish was made (and serviced) again..
Just ordered one for my next trip to Paris
Great choice!
The GR1 is such an awesome camera. I have never used one but I've lusted over one for so long but never pulled the trigger. It's hard to justify the cost vs. reliability. So I've opted for the R1 just to try out. I am curious to know your thoughts on the R1?
Yes it is! I haven't tried the R1 before.. But if you can get your hands on a good condition GR1 it's an amazing camera!
Loved my GR1V! .. Top tip - dont keep them in your trouser pocket - dust gets into the viewfinder, and it's not fixable.
Yes.. The convenience outweighs the dust (to me) 😌
Love your ending comment, fragility doesnt undermine the joy of using this camera brings whilst its still functioning
There is a little known 35mm film P&S camera out there with infinity and snap focus, 28mm lens.
Downsides? No aperture control, no exposure comp, it's bigger, lens is max 3.5 and not as sharp (not a prime either!) and the VF has no frame lines (and is in general pretty terrible). It's also not a Ricoh. But it's cheap. Like sub-$100 cheap.
Did you use snap most of the time? Also did you med with exposure that much or just auto? Thanks!
Yes, I’m barely on autofocus.. it’s usually 2m or infinity!
at 500$+...dono man.
Haha!
what? you can set it to 2.8 and it goes to 2.8 and not in auto mode unlike some cameras that are 2/3rds more expensive than this one??? no way! lol
