This is why I liked the Ricoh GR. It easily fit in jeans.
Agreed. It was only a year and a half ago that I started photography with a Canon G10 and it's taught me so much but I feel like jumping into film SLR's taught me a lot more in a shorter span but I don't think I would've appreciated film so much if it weren't for owning a point and shoot that allowed me to take 300 pictures in one sitting as opposed to 36 in a week with film haha.
