In reply to Iain Vass. Thank you for the kind words Iain. That's a couple of brilliant observations, ha. I had noticed the leader being left out after rewinding and thought that's probably handy for the lab (I don't dev my own film) but the neck strap zone focus thing is genius. :D

Yes mate, it’s honestly a decent camera that’s obviously available brand new so shouldn’t have any issues and has warranty if it does. Really enjoyed shooting mine and had some good results too, in my biased opinion.

I’ve never shot a Ricoh GR btw but would love to put some rolls through one someday. 🙂

Brilliant review, I purchased a Snapic a1 after I found out it had a glass lens, the results are very good from this camera. One thing I noticed which is not mentioned in the manual,is that the very long neck strap is perfect for judging the close focus distance. I also like that the film leader is left out when the film is rewound.

I was looking into buying this camera too to replace my ricoh. The size and looks sold it for me. And looking at the pictures you took, is not bad too.

If only my ricoh has oled screen. Thats the only thing that broken.

In reply to Tim. Thank you for the nice words, Tim. I had a great time shooting the Snapic and yes, I do quite like some of my results from it also. I wish the same for you :) fun shooting and lots of shots you like too.
