So I posted a while ago that Ricoh had made a development announcement of a Black and White GR compact. Well today the retailers started to accept pre-orders. Here in the UK its £1600 which for a dedicated black and white camera is the cheapest yet.
If your after a dedicated black and white camera, then its this, a Leica Q3 or Leica M, unless you have the budget for a medium format black and white digital back.
