Afternoon at Montara Beach with the Ricoh GR II and Sony A7 II
Camera decisions…
It’s been several weeks since I returned the Fuji X100F and settled with my Ricoh, and while I miss the Fuji dearly this past weekend at the beach was a good example of why having a pocketable camera is such a huge advantage.
When I deliberately go to places like a beach, or any place that’s out of the ordinary that feels like a photo op, I’d take my main camera – Sony A7 II. The Ricoh added so little weight to my pocket/bag that I thought “Meh, why not bring that along as well”. As you can see from the images below, the ease of use resulted in me using the Ricoh a big portion of the time. Whipping it out of my pocket is SO much faster and easier than opening my bag, lugging out a camera and trying to (in this case) manually focus.
