Photograph and Camera talk

I think you guys have the Ricoh GR. Is it worth getting one besides a DSLR? I want a very capable cam that's light and easy to carry around…but as I do a lot of landscape shots I fear that 28mm might not be enough for me. Plus I read that it runs out of battery pretty quick and the Focus is not the fastest/best. What's your opinion? I'd like to get a used one, so the plunge is not too big.

Yes… nothing more to add here

tbh. though, i'm storing mine in the office and use it as "daily beater" on construction site to document it all. pretty perfect for that…unfortunately i'm not having the time to do photography anymore (what a shame) so yeah, for what i'm using it, it's more than fucking perfect.
super easy to handle, super light to carry around for a couple of hours and about the battery, i'd def. cop a spare if you're going to take it for a day or two...hated that fact and not having a spare battery, while i was in NYC 1.5years ago

Thanks guys

my newest edition this will be winging its way to me very shortly
-
To those shooting film (35mm), what film do you use?
-
@harleydave that X100T is a really cool camera!
@dylantbmayes I use Kodak Portra 400 almost exclusively, amazing color and really shines with portraits and capturing skin tones. -
Got the Canon EOS X Mark II right when it came out with free accessories and this camera is a great step up from my 1D Mark IV. I use this camera exclusively for action photos/sport events. I have to remember that it is a full frame camera unlike the 1.3x crop ratio of the MK IV.
It is slightly faster in focus, battery is a good bit better, build quality is always top notch, starting to like the new CFast card slot…but need to buy another one or two if I ever have to write to two cards with the camera as I have tons of micro sd cards from all my other Canons. Oh and the shutter speed is amazing. It is a good bit faster than the MKIV even at just 500 shutter.

Thanks for the film recommendations!
@Snowy, how did you go about travelling to Japan (anywhere) with film?
-
Not buying film, travelling with it. You took film from Australia to Japan, yeah?
I know that you should have it in your carry-on and not check-in just wanted to know if there is anything else worth knowing.
-
if possible get them hand checked and not through x-ray scanner. though the only airport that did it for me was HK.
-
I have heard that! Adelaide Airport security don't come across as the most accommodating though.
Thanks @louisbosco!

Ah it's all fine except for 1600. Modern xray machines are fine. If you've got ISO1600 or greater hand scanning's never been a problem. The 100 & 400 ISO stuff I let get xrayed on carry on and even when it's gone through 4-5x no issues. ISO1600 and above is the only time to worry about the xray for hand luggage.

I spoke to my brother about it, he travels often for work and shoots mainly Ilford Delta 3200, and he has never had a roll go bad…
There is probably always a chance but it hasn't happened yet.
