Like the Gariz case above, it is made of genuine leather. There is an official soft case for the Ricoh GR III sold by Ricoh. This case does have an aluminum base and this will add height to the body of the camera which is great for those with big hands. They make some nice gear and their cases do a great job of adding additional grip and protection. I’ve used several Gariz cases over the years on different cameras. There are a few nice carrying cases for the GRIII, but also you can get body cases that will help protect the body and add grip while you are shooting.įor my street cameras, I almost always use some sort of leather half case. The Ricoh GR IIIx has its own EVF for the 40mm equivalent lens with 1:1 shooting frame marks. Ricoh GR IIIx Viewfinder GV-3 External Mini Viewfinder This will not be useful for the Ricoh GR IIIx. GR IIIx shooters will need to wait for a new external viewfinder.įor shooters that have no interest in the 21mm wide-angle adapter, this viewfinder has only 28mm frame lines. Ricoh GV-1 External ViewfinderĪnother accessory for the GR III with 28mm or 21mm frame lines.
If you just need a more compact viewfinder for the 28mm lens, the GV-2 is a great option, more compact but is also more expensive. If you use the wide-angle adapter, the GV-1 features 21mm frame lines, it’s also less expensive. There are a few different viewfinders for the GRIII. These UV filters are nice because they help stop dust from getting inside the components since the Ricoh does have a few issues with dust sneaking into the camera and getting on the sensor. It uses sticky tape to mount to the front of the lens. If you like using UV filters on this camera you can get a nice one by JJC. I’ve listed both.įor the GR IIIx, there will be a GT-2 Teleconversion lens that gives a 75mm equivalent field of view. Behind it are some CPU contacts that will allow the camera to communicate with this lens, but you do need to get the adapter. On the front housing around the lens, there is a ring that removes. The wide-angle converter gives you a 21mm equivalent focal length. Hold off buying any of these lens accessories for a GR III x. The Ricoh GR IIIx will have different accessories here most likely. They diminish some of the cool looks you can get from lens flares from having a curved front element. I personally try not to use UV filters if I don’t have to. The lens does retract and you might not need a UV filter. One thing that’s really interesting about the GR III is its ability to use a wide-angle lens converter. I’ve tested all the most popular memory cards in the GR III and you can learn everything you need to know about memory cards in my guide. I’ve found with these third-party batteries it’s usually a good idea to cycle them (full charging and discharging) about 5 times. They offer these great little charging kits with two batteries at an incredible price. Of the third-party battery brands, Wasabi is one of the best. Since the GRIII likes to eat batteries, it might not be a bad idea to have a few of these.
The official batteries usually last the longest and have the most reliable performance.
These are the official batteries off the Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx. If you’re coming from a GR II, note that the GR III uses new batteries and your old GR II batteries will not work. It really depends on you though, and how much you like to shoot in a day. I personally like to always use my official battery as my primary, then keep some third party as a backup. Some people like only using official batteries, some people are ok with third-party batteries. The Anti Glare is great too if you’re shooting a lot on sunny days but it will reduce the display quality.Īnti-Glare is actually a great option for the GR III since often need to use your LCD screen out in the sun on bright days. They have a few options from Anti-Glare to Crystal Clear to Glass. Here are my favorite brand of screen protectors. Using a screen protector is the best way to preserve the life and value of your camera. These cameras don’t have the crazy high endurance glass screens as modern DSLRs, they will scratch, they will delaminate, they will break. Must-Have Accessories Ricoh GR III | The BasicsĪn absolute must-have accessory for these little mirrorless compact street cameras is a screen protector. The main difference in terms of accessories is the Ricoh GR III x has a different lens, all the other accessories will work between bodies, except for the viewfinder. Here are some of the best brands of accessories for the Ricoh GR III or the Ricoh GR III x, a legendary street photography beast.
