Ricoh GR Digital IV

Thanks for sharing bro. I think lens cap is useful to protect Acmaxx filter.

Is the lens cap similar to those auto retractable lens cap like JJC?
That one seemed popular. But can't find one for GRD series though.
If need to remove lens ring, then my color lens ring no use as deco already :-(

Too bad there isn't any...

Ya true.. but so far never cross my mind to get an auto lens cap cos the glass is not expose when camera is off. And I keep it in GC-3. So its never an concern to me.

I tried searching but alas, no such lens cap for the grd. A bit strange though, didn't think it'd be hard to produce one for the grd series.

For those who can understand Japanese, there is an interview with Ricoh (part 1) put on DC Watch Impress which talked about why GRD IV has thinner LP filter, no HD movie, return of passive AF assist and GR blue. Interesting read.

Now where will be the cheapest place to get GRD IV?

Just asked AP and TK are fairly close in pricing at about 770. MS gave me two pricings with at least $40 difference when asking at different branch...

What about PariSilk @ HollandV?
Their price for GRDIII was great.

Today I bought a Martin soft case for my Ricoh setup. It fitted just nice with GV-1, GH-2 and GW-2 attached.

Not sure if a white lens hood would look great.
Black on white looks fierce though!

Nice one bro! That white GRD looks good!

Hey bro, how's the distortion like with the wide convertor? I'm half-thinking of one if it's decent.

Hey sanfong, mind telling how much is the GV-1?

Hey sanfong, mind telling how much is the GV-1?

I can't remember, i got it with GW-2 together with GV-1 at Alan Photo for a total of $371.00. Yesterday I checked out the price for GV-2 was $250.00.
