thank you for this video!! I'm glad you made this comparison because I too was missing the magic I felt with the GRII in the new GRIII. However, your presets get me close to the images I longed for so thank you for this!!

This is such a no-nonsense, well crafted video, with a huge twist at the end.

Thanks for your comparison and custom settings. I only own GR iii so couldnt really compare after reading on forums that earlier GRs has better +ve film. I think you are correct in saying the new tech have changed how the picture look on the same setting. Been experimenting with the custom settings myself and haven't found the sweet spot yet so will give yours a try.

Great comparison! Thanks for making this!

When I "upgraded" to the GR III, I was a little underwhelmed by the outputs so I had to put it head to head against my trusty GR. The GR III is not a bad camera by any means, but it doesn't seem to hold the same magic as the previous GRs.

Great video! 🔥🔥🔥 Have a good day.

Nice work, as I went from GRI to GRIII. I will try your preset 😎👍

I do agree from your side by side's that the version ii looks better. Personally I enjoy editing and prefer to create my own presets so I can make it look how I like so it is a non issue for me but for many these cameras are designed to be as hassle free as possible.

Thank you Jakob for this very interesting video. Like you, my GR II broke down (but my fault, glass milk bottle broke and I had thewn my GrR in the bag between the car and home and the bottle broke when dropping the bag on kitchen tile, sinking my GR in milk befiore I could retrieve it...) and although I could have gotten the III for couple huundred more, I went on eBay and got another GR II. Later, if it or I brake it, I'll attempt the 3 (still ridiculously cheap for what it is) for the ibis, suposedly better DR, Mpx count and lower noise.

I'm actually seeing more and more people making the switch from the GR III back to these older versions, simply for this reason. Unfortunately I don't know of any Capture One recipe for Positive Film. Let me know if you find one!

Hello I have just bought a original GR (thanks to the influence of your videos) I am a beginner photographer and love the nostalgic film look the positive film effect offers, other than the effect tweaking you show in this video is there any other settings you recommend I change on the camera for best results. I’ve noticed the autofocus is not the best not sure if there is anything I can do to help with this. I really appreciate your help with this video makes such a big difference and help to first timers like myself.

I like the photos from the original GR much better. It has life...caracter

Pulled my old GR off of the shelf after nearly 8 years of not using it. Battery swollen, surprised that Ricoh still sells new DB-65 batteries on their online shop (in Japan).

Interesting comparison. I didn't see the higher DR of the MK III (it might have been there), but it looked like the GR III exposed darker. Since you used manual exposure it could just be the tone curve, but it could also be variation in the ISO. Exposing darker will of course protect highlight at the cost of darker shadows, but it was difficult to judge/compare details in really dark areas. I dont have any GR III raw files, but Adobe make "camera profiles" for many models. It might be worth checking if they have that for GR and if so how it compares with JPGs from the camera.

@JakobIglhaut

2 жыл бұрын

I believe you're right about the tone curve. It seems that Ricoh has changed the default setting of the effect on the GR III resulting in a darker image. This can be adjusted with the high/low key setting of the Positive Film effect making the two cameras more comparable in terms of exposure.

It's amazing how a simple yet instructional video can influence the decision process--thank you! I sold my GRII because the the III was coming and thought that image stabilization would be a great feature to have--I never used the flash. What a mistake! I never bought the III since the price was ridiculous. I went to film for street photography but I never reached the level of shooting I had in a short period with the GRII. How much did I miss my GRII? Years later I contacted the buyer (eBay) asking to buy my camera back; sadly he sold it. Lesson learned. :(

To me it looks like the GRIII needs to be exposed higher than the GR (or perhaps as you say the older one lifts the shadows). From the photos you cannot see that the GRIII has more dynamic range as even if it has colours in the skies, it has darker shadows. I prefer the greens on the GR positive film, not sure about the other colours, but I don't have the GR or GRII to compare. Would have been nice to see comparison where the GRIII exposure was lifted.

Maybe to claim higher iso in the specifications, the GRIII has less sensitivity for the same iso value entered in the settings.

Great comparison! I actually went through the same thing over a year ago I purchased the GR III and did not really like the Positive film on it so I purchased the GR II for the Positive film. I love the GR II but unfortunately it is having the same symptom as your GR I towards the end of your video. My GR II is under exposing by 1 to 1.5 stops in bright daylight. I have tried everything including doing a complete factory reset but nothing has helped and yes I have the ND filter turned off in the settings.

It’s very interesting that all of the gr 3 shots seem like they’re taken 3 hours later in the day (very close to dusk in many shots) and that the colours in the gr 3 seem very dull and have no pop, kind of sad but is it more realistic? Your custom settings were very good but there is definitely something very odd there.

Have both the GRII (agree with the dust, what a pain...) and X70. X70 is a nice camera too, you should enjoy it (and you can use the Nisi filter kit, or circular ND/else filter on both, same ring adapter size). Better noise and DR on the Fuji, and I kind of prefer the Jpeg colors out of the box. The GR has always more difficult with color rendering in post vs the Fuji, be it Raw or Jpeg.

Is the positive effect supposed to emulate the look of slide film? I have a Ricoh GR and find the positive film setting a bit dull and flat. The Vibrant setting produces stronger colours and has more life but maybe I have the settings all wrong?

There are the older models with a small 1/1,8" sensor called GR Digital or GRD. This series goes from GRD I to IV. Although they also have their qualities they really feel like older digicams, lower Mp count and slow to operate. Then the GR was released and soon after the GR II. The GR and GR II are the first Ricoh cameras with an APS-C sized sensor and they are practically the same camera, except the GR II has WiFi capability. Get either of those if you like the Positive Film look I presented in the video. After that there is the GR III, still with an APS-C sensor and some technical improvements like IBIS, but with less image character. The GR III is the latest camera. When hunting for these online make sure you don't confuse the GR Digital II and the GR II or the GRD III and the GR III ;) Good luck!

Can you make a comparison between the Bleach Bypass effect of both cameras? I loved that effect on my old GR, but that camera is defect and the Bleach Bypass on my new GR III feels somewhat different. I would love to see a direct comparison.

If I remember I'll take a few comparison shots in the beginning of the new year. I never use that effect myself though

​@@JakobIglhaut That would be awesome! As far as I know this effect is not as popular as the Positive Film, though it still has a small but quite enthusiastic fanbase.

The custom adjustment you made on GR3 is looking way better than the positive film on GR.

Personal preference I guess. The GR 3 files still look way more digital to me. GR images look more "analogue/organic". Maybe it's the imperfections I like and the GR 3 s images are already too good for my taste ;)

@@JakobIglhaut Personally I prefer the analogue look on images. Modern cameras, the digital cameras, are all about resolutions, dynamic range, and how detailed they can record (also lightroom, presets, etc). So I have been trying to get the best of both worlds lol

danke dir für das tolle video, jacob! das sehe ich mir schon bestimmt zum 5ten mal an. weil mich genau das thema mit dem positive film nicht loslässt. und natürlich das video an sich ist sehr schön gemacht, mache bitte mehr davon! ps. würdest du mir ein paar bilder aus deinem vergleich als jpegs mit positive film und dngs zur verfügung stellen? ich hätte ein sehr großes interesse und zeit gerade mich mit der profil anpassung zu beschäftigen. falls daraus was wird, mache ich die profile öffentlich.

Hi! Vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar! Ich kann es gut verstehen, mich lässt das Thema nämlich auch nicht los. Ich habe auch noch Ideen für neue Projekte rund um das Thema, aber mir fehlt gerade die Zeit für die Umsetzung. Ich habe dir mal ein paar der Bilder aus dem Vergleich hochgeladen, allerdings habe ich nur von der GR III die dng+jpeg, von der GR habe ich nur die jpegs, da ich die ja schon als "perfekt" angesehen habe ;) Hier der Link zu dem Download: drive.google.com/file/d/1BQpD240tJ0seSYrzjecrFyHw7CFvORW6/view?usp=sharing Viele Grüße!

@@JakobIglhaut hey jakob, leider konnte ich deine dngs mit meiner gr3x nicht öffnen. ich habe schon alles mögliche ausprobiert, sogar die metadaten komplett editiert. leider ohne erfolg. ich kann die bilder öffnen, allerdings nur im vorschau modus. :/ falls du vergleichsbilder zwischen gr3x und gr2 da hast, dann würde es gehen.

Ja, das müsste ich hinkriegen, habe die GR IIIx schließlich auch da. Das wird aber noch etwas dauern, bis ich da etwas machen kann.

Hier noch ein paar schnelle Bilder aus dem Fenster. Leider habe ich gerade wenig Zeit und die GR IIIx habe ich nun auch wieder verkauft. Die Lichtsituation ist natürlich speziell, ich hoffe du kannst was mit den wenigen Bildern was anfangen. Bei der GR hatte ich leider noch 4:3 Bildverhältnis eingestellt. Bei GR und GR IIIx war Positive Film wieder auf den Standardeinstellungen. Bei der GR IIIx habe ich zusätzlich mal noch eine WB Anpassung dazugepackt, die ich auch viel verwendet hatte. drive.google.com/file/d/1DOsPBBLJ9dxs9kAyX53bX8V-s-NYBXIf/view?usp=drivesdk
