JJC AR-GR3 Lens Filter Adapter Replaces Ricoh GA-1 for Ricoh GR III GR III HDF GR3 GR3 HDF Digital Camera with GW-4 Wide Conversion Lens or 49mm Filter

Solid construction and works great. If you want to avoid the automatic crop applied by the camera, this is a great alternative to the OEM version.

A great add on to my Ricoh GR 3. I was refusing to use the Ricoh ever since I got it ten days ago because I wanted a cover for that lens - had damaged my Sony rx100 a few years ago and ever since I’ve had one for all my cameras (you can see my Fuji x100F has it too. I was tentative at the time of purchase wondering whether I will have problems of the lens hitting the filter in macro mode but no such issues. The build quality is super, it doesn’t add much bulk, clicks on very secure. This one and my camera are going to be lifelong friends. Hope this review helps. Cheers

This does a great job at provided a way to use filters, however it does not work with the lens cap made by the same company for the same camera. With a filter on, the lens cap is completely useless. With no filter, the items cap will go on, but it slides right off if you got the camera even slightly downward. This, to me, learns the utility of both products significantly. I would have thought companies designing parts that don't work together was a problem that was solved for good in the 70s. Guess I was wrong.If you only need to use this adapter/hood, it's great. If you (like me) want to use the adapter, a filter, AND the lens cap... Good luck.

I was deciding between this and a Nisi filter. The adapter fits my GRIIIx and makes it easy to add 49mm filters. However, the fit is not flush and there is some play side to side. It doesn't feel like it will come loose, but it is annoying. The Nisi filter has almost no play and is also smaller in width, as it tapers halfway, so looks a little sleeker on camera. I'll be returning this now the Nisi is here.

Excellent build quality compared to the GA-2, Ricoh’s own adapter. The GA-2 is made of super lightweight plastic, and there is quite a bit of play and shake when using it as it doesn’t secure well to the camera.This JJC adapter however, is made of aluminum and is super solid, and feels secure. In addition, it does NOT trigger the crop mode, which the GA-2 does, so if you so choose you can use this with the GT-2 at 60mm (a true 1.5x) and full resolution. If you’d like to use the GT-2 at 75mm, simply enable the 50mm crop mode!I love the ability to choose, and it makes the GRIIIx even more versatile. The build is vastly superior to the Ricoh GA-2, at less than half the price. I highly recommend this to all users of the GRIIIx!

The adapter is entirely too loose. Even moving the camera from side-to-side dislodges it

I had ordered the Ricoh branded one but mistakenly got the iii version and not the iiix. Fortunately for me, when I went to reorder the right one, I chose the JJC version. What a difference in quality and price. Do not waste your money on any other brand....this thing is perfect. Also, plastic on the Ricoh and Aluminum on the JJC.I am happy it worked out this way.

Looks great on my camera. Don’t have any zoom problems.
