Ricoh GR II vs GR III Preproduction Comparison

The Ricoh GR II successor model GR III was announced just a two days ago on Sep 25, 2018. It is still a pre-production model so things might change slightly.

Daytrip to Pomaire

by · · leave a comment

Without much sleep inside the terribly cold and cramped overnight bus from Puerto Montt, we were dropped off in the outskirts of Santiago de Chile. We were about to meet and stay a couple of days with our hiking friends Jorge and Catalina which we met on the Dientes de Navarino trek. They kindly invited us to visit them and here we were. It was a sunny Sunday, our friends packed us into their beloved 4×4 Suzuki Jeep and off we went on a day road trip, away from the capital city.
