Had a half-day off in Lincoln... which is a city that I've oddly spent a lot of time in. We used to do tech rehearsals out there... so for a few years I would spend like... 12-ish days in a row there. It's a li'l city that I like a lot... and if I'd ne'er been there... I'd honestly skip right o'er it. But having spent so much time there... I knew of an INCREDIBLE museum there called The Museum of American Speed. I have photos somewhere I'd like to dig up from 2014 when I was there... I'm curious to see how much/if the place has changed much in that time.

Anyway... if you're ever in Lincoln... or e'en Omaha... it's DEFINITELY worth the trip. The collection is MASSIVE.

ilove the old car club licsence plates!!! what an amazing museum

That is super cool. I love the coveralls.
When you shoot these with the "settings" do you edit the photos or are they pretty much done due to the settings?

The X100's have built-in film simulations... but mine is older, so I can't get the exact simulation/recipe I want in-camera. So I've tweaked one to get it as close as I can in-camera so that I can shoot closer to how I want. Then I have a Lightroom preset that I've been working on that I apply to the RAW files that come out of the camera. I may slightly tweak the exposure if I mis-shot or feel that it would look better... but for the most part I'm not really editing... just slapping my preset on it and running with it.

That makes sense. I did see that they have built in presets just like Ricoh GRiii I guess.

I still haven't use one of those Ricoh's... but they look awesome!! The newer Fuji cameras have more adjustability so you get get more/better film recipes for 'em. I'm gonna live with this workflow for now 'cause the prices on the newer ones are bananas... and the one I have is plenty capable.

I think Ricoh is just more "pocket" friendly. And agree on the prices.

It's been decades since I had a pocketable digital camera... but having absolutely LOVED the Olympus Stylus Epic in that regard for 35mm... so I very much see the appeal. I've halfway looked at the Fuji XQ2 for that reason... but e'en those are going between $5-600... which I just cannot justify spending right now.

These are so dick!!!

The Ricoh GR3 is what I bought for my Japan trip and I absolutely love it. I was also really torn on it vs. one of the Fuji's (my dad even offered to loan me his older X100F which I thing is an incredible camera, but I also really wanted to prioritize size/weight for this trip). So far no regrets with it at all, everything I posted on Instagram during that trip was from it (aside from a few iPhone shots sprinkled in). The in-camera film recipes are really cool too, I've only found a way to bounce between 3 at a time easily but that's enough to start with.
