As some of you know, I bought the GR III again. This time a Diary Edition. I think at this point no one can accuse me of not giving the camera a proper chance! I bought it new and sold it 3 times in total, including this one. Because yes, I sold it again. I… Continue reading My final opinion about the Ricoh GR III
