Ricoh GR
The Ricoh GR is a line of compact cameras with fixed wide-angle lenses produced continuously since 1996, most recently in APS-C digital sensor form. Its slim profile and near-silent leaf shutter made it a favored tool among photographers working in the street documentary tradition. Daido Moriyama adopted it as his primary camera and has discussed its role in his practice in multiple published interviews.
