I, myself, use regularly a Ricoh GR1. This tiny camera has a 28mm f2.8 
really excellent and the body is in magnesium alloy with manual exposure. As 
I'm too a owner of Leica M7, knowing thus the meaning of a good build 
finish, could you, please, explain me what is poor in the build finish of 
this Ricoh?
