Ricoh GR1 DATE Compact Camera
with High Definition GR lens 28mm/f2.8

One of the great pocketable ultra slim 35mm cameras with aperture-priority and program AE modes. I bought it as a 'go anywhere' camera and had considered a Minox 35 or a Rollei 35 for their small size and super sharp lenses but this camera could be considered to be a modern version of those cameras with autofocus and auto film advance and better autoexposure but still retaining a crisp and sharp lens. Also, this camera is made of lightweight magnesium alloy so it is strong and durable and has knobs and buttons to set many things which are retained on power off unlike so many modern cameras. In short, this is a photographer's camera.

This camera has had a very light use. I carried it everywhere in case I needed a camera rather than buying to use on a regular basis. It is therefore in a very clean and almost new condition. The auction includes the original box, carrying case, strap and user manual. The carrying case is showing signs of wear but that is to be expected as it has been protecting the camera. The camera also has an date/time imprint mode that may be optionally turned off if not required. A new battery has been recently installed.

The camera has the excellent 28mm f2.8 optic and will make an excellent street photography camera.

I am looking for £145.
