Bought my Ricoh GR 1 years ago used for $300. This camera is perfect. Their hype is warranted imo. Especially on this version, something about the older less perfect look really works with its insanely sharp lens shot wide open. The newer models to me don't even look as good as this 13 year old GR.
Another reason I love the GR series is it doesn't look like a serious camera. So when you point it at people, they smile instead of being shy in front of a full frame pro looking camera, if that makes sense.
But man. I could easily sell it in its relic'd state with high shutter count today for $1000.
Like most hobbies, covid made photography too expensive.
Yesterday I sold my XE3, broken (doesn't interface with autofocus lenses anymore). Buyer wanted to buy it to use it for use with vintage manual lenses. An excellent choice of camera body for this. But I sold it for the same price I bought it 6 years ago. Insanity.
