If there’s a photo style that will never go out of style, it’s black and white photography. But, when I had the chance to try a camera with a dedicated monochrome sensor for the first time, I wasn’t sure what to expect – so I shot with its color sibling at the same time. I spent two weeks shooting with both the Ricoh GR IV HDF and the GR IV Monochrome.
The Ricoh GR IV series looks so similar that I could barely tell the two cameras apart – the lack of color on the GR logo on the front and the Red Filter shortcut on the back is what gives the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome away, at least without powering the cameras on.
