About GR
I have had a long relationship with GR since the film era, and even after its becoming a digital camera. I have been using it from the original GRD to the current model GR III. It's a camera that I take out when I feel like taking pictures, rather than for a particular purpose. It always helps me increase the “photo density in my blood.”
