I shot the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval with this little wonder cam and I’ve got a few things to say about it. Hit the jump for the full Ricoh GR II street photography review!
Leica is well known for its outlandish special edition cameras from the Ralph Gibson Monochrom to the puzzling M Edition 60 that was the first digital rangefinder without an LCD screen.

The Ricoh GR is one of the all time great compact cameras for street photography with it’s stealthy operation and amazing lens. But time marches forward and the all new Ricoh GR II has been announced. And it’s pretty much the exact same camera as the original GR but they’ve added Wi-Fi. Cue the marching band!
