I’m a bit embarassed that’s it’s taken me so long to reply to your comment. I appologise. Truth be told, yours was just one of those comments that slipped by unnoticed until I was browsing through my archives today.

Happy to know you found the articles here useful. In a way it’s a good thing that I spotted this after a gap, because I’m quite curious about your Ricoh R10.

I’m a big fan of the serious compact camera, and also of the slightly strange not-quite-mainstream cameras. I recently got myself a Canon G9 which would have fallen well within that category, if everyone and their pet cat hadn’t gone out and bought one, but I digress …

I have good experiences with Richo from their film days. When I was in university I urgently needed a camera for a photography art class I was enrolled in, and my old Praktika SLR was on the fritz. As a quick solution, I bought myself a cheap fixed lens (28mm I think) Richo compact. That camera filled with some colour processable Kodak Black and White film game me some of the most exquisite photographs I’ve had the pleasure of taking.

So, I would be very interested in hearing your experiences and thoughts on the R10, now hopefully having played with it for a while.

Thanks again for your comment, and I do hope to hear from you soon.

Hello Samir!
What a refreshing site, I read several posts – Procrastination, Dictionary, Pop-up Card and Embracing the Camera. I enjoyed your wit, choice of illusrations – the whole nine yards in fact. I’ve been caught in a seemingly endless loop of research to avoid actually commencing a creative project that hasn’t fully formed in my mind’s eye… It does me well to hear things repeated that got buried somewhere in forgotten corners. Think less, do more. Keep writing, I’ll be back down the road a bit. Take care!

This has been a pleasure to read. I am purchasing a new ricoh R10 camera not the best out there but the camera has some really nice features in a compact camera. I wanted to know how to take some good pictures and figure out some modes so I googled and found this site. I jsut wanted to let you know all the information you have here is just wonderful. I will let you know how I make out.
