More p&s
« on: July 25, 2008, 05:41:22 PM »
I came across this when browsing ebabe recently

a Rollei Giro 70 WA. It's got a HFT lens in it which is the Rollei version of Zeiss T* coating so thought it might be OK. For ?10.50 it was mine.

I found myself in Gateshead on Monday so thought the Angel would be a good chance to try out the camera. This is a couple of the results. I would say it's on a par with my Yashica T Zoom. So now I've got two keep-in-the-car cameras, which is useful as I have two cars...



I love the two guys in the second picture who both look as though they'd rather be somewhere else.

Peter, both snaps are lovely. I particularly liked the angle you chose for the first. The Rollei looks like a winner. Having recently bought a Ricoh GR1 on Leon's recommendation, it's good to see someone else hunting down quality P'n'S options.

Nice! Like that first. Something about B&W in a P&S that gets me every time...

Damn! You be getting kitted up then very nicely Ed. Though a P&S, I consider my GR to be  a step up from my otherwise full auto R1-type Ricoh. Something about that GR lens really shines in color or B&W... Enjoy!

(Articles on both the GR, a R-series can be found HERE.)

yes - particularly liking the first pic Peter.

How you getting on with the R-1 ed?  Skj - I really wanted a GR-1 but they're so good, they hold their prices well.

I am indeed a raving numpty. I picked up a Ricoh R1 not a GR1 as previously stated. Sorry for the confusion, Skj. I would of course love a GR1, but the R1 was a steal at around GBP10.

Went to a gig with Damion yesterday so took the R1 along to that and it seemed to do the trick.
