KYO Night B&W
by Ricoh (GR official) · grblog.jp
View original postRicoh's own night recipe: a purple-toned Monotone from GR staff photographer KYO, built for city streets after dark. Shadow contrast is lifted so night blacks stay readable, highlights roll off gently under street lamps, and the purple toning gives the frame its signature cast.

The ISO here is the author's suggested Auto-ISO ceiling - noise at high ISO reads as film grain, so it's part of the look, not just exposure.
From the creator
KYO shoots this at f/2.8 in Av mode with shake reduction on, auto-area AF, and Full Press Snap at 2m for grab shots.
Camera compatibility
Originally created for the GR III - the same settings dial straight into any GR listed.
