Great shots. Proves it's the indian not the arrow.
I actually had an original GRD briefly but didn't really like the noise. Coming off Tri-X in Rodinal it looked like noise to me, not grain but I might have been too critical. You make it work.
The new ones are supposed to be much better and apparently the RAW write times are not measured on a calendar any more so you can take full advantage of the sensor. Might get one if I can sell my E-P2 body. Just too big for what I want it for. Realized if I was going to bring the E-P2, I might as well bring my "real" camera. Once you need a bag, it's all the same.

I had a 1st gen GRD. The sensor was amazing. I posted a few shots from it in this thread. I can only assume it got better. The only issue I had was that the flash metering was screwy sometimes. But, again, it was 1st generation. You'd best believe that they fixed that by the 3rd generation. The digital grain/noise was the most organic and film-like of any digital camera that I've ever used or seen images from. And I've used a LOT of cameras. That camera is in my top 3 favorites of all time. ESPECIALLY if you like to shoot in available light. I'm strongly considering getting a GRDIII when I get a new camera.
