I had to buy a different adapter for my Ricoh GRIII as this one is useless because it lacks the metal connectors which enable the transmission of information between the lens and the camera,A complete waste of money. Don't buy it!

Il est indispensable et permet d'associer un grand angle pour passer du 28 mm au 21 mm. On peut aussi simplement ajouter un filtre uv pour protéger le GRIII de toute poussière.

This is needed to add on the GW-4 wide angle adapter.

Well the adapter works as it should, but it is plastic and has to hold a fairly heavy wide-angle adapter. Ricoh should have made this from metal with rubber gaskets….the plastic is just not good enough. Hope they start making these in metal.

It is cheaply made, it’s a plastic mount for the GRiii. I wanted to use the Ricoh Gw4 wide lens, so I had no option than to buy this. There is another similar mount on here for about $20 but it does not have the metal connectors like this one. Therefore the cheaper one would not work with the Ricoh lenses. Yes, this adapter is cheaply made but you will be okay if you take care of it. It would’ve been nice if it was aluminum. It works and does the job. The price is just too high for a plastic adaptor. The max I would happily pay for this would be $25-$30, not $50.

La mia recensione è parziale nel senso che per cari motivi non sono riuscito ancora a sfruttare bene il mio ultimo acquisto ovvero l'accoppiamento adattatore GA1 e lente di conversione GW4. Posso solo dire che l'adattatore è un pezzo di plastica che non da senso ne di qualità ne di solidità anzi mi da l'idea che una volta montato è meglio non toccarlo più, quindi il prezzo che ha non è proprio giustificato. Altra nota dolente è quel fastidioso ticchettio che si sente dovuto ad un leggero gioco tra l'adattatore e l'aggancio a vite della macchina fotografica. Mi sono meravigliato che gli ingegneri Ricoh avendo prodotto una macchina di altissima qualità ed un altrettanto lente di conversione, si siano persi su un dettaglio come l'adattatore che bastava veramente costruire migliore qualità, in alluminio satinato magari....

I do youtube videos featuring the Ricoh GR III, and couldn't use the camera without this coupler and a UV filter! It works great!

Lightweight and seemingly sturdy. Has a clever inner leaver that is pressed when you use GW-4 activating the contacts on the adapter, letting the camera know that GW-4 is attached (for EXIF and IBIS). Also, I like that it locks onto the camera mount.However, it does rattle a little bit when it's attached. Tighter tolerances would be better. And $50 seems overpriced for what it is. I wish it came together with the GW-4 at reduced price, would make a much better value item.

I like that this is made to look similar to the body of the camera, but I wish it was actually made of some sort of lightweight metal, not hard plastic. The plastic is sturdy, but definitely has some play. Nowhere near as good as Fujifilm's solution to adapting a 21mm lens to it's X70. Awesome that you can screw on a 49mm filter. That is a must-have if you don't want dust entering your sensor.

I'm immediately getting this. The GR III is a big investment for such a little camera and I want to make sure absolutely no dust gets into the sensor. The GR III now has a dust removal system now but the guy on DigitalRev youtube channel made a good point that it's just going to shake that dust into a different part of the camera. I don't think that this converter lens will make it that bulky but will take pictures once I get it tomorrow. GR III is a good camera and just want to make sure that it lasts as long as it can until the GR IV comes out.It protrudes just a little bit more but I still feel that it maintains that compactness and wont affect my shooting. It’s all plastic and dont forget to but a 49mm thread filter. Buying just this converter wont protect your lens from dust, you need a separate filter
