I like a lot what you are getting out of “older” cameras. It proofs the often cited sentence: It’s not the camera etc. The snappy character of this series are very appealing.
I’ve been using colour but never really happy with what I’m getting so I thought I’d return to monochrome this week. It made me feel “at home” and more comfortable. Perhaps that is coming through too. Thanks for your insights, much appreciated, as always.
I still own a Ricoh GX200. Marvelous little gem. Slow but unbeaten in it’s concept. It led me into digital photography. I will keep it until it dies 😉 I also have a Sigma DP2 an DP1. I loved to use them. But now they are beyond my needs. I should give them a try once again. Just a different way of taking pictures by using the Foveon sensor. As you said: Struggling with colour treatment leads always back to pure b/w photography. In this range the Foveon is hard to beat. Well – please apologize my gear talk. Regards – KU
Always happy to have some gear talk! Enjoy the Foveon again.

P.S. I do love my old cameras. 📷👍
