Ricoh GRD III


can i know how much does the accessories like WA, viewfinder 21mm and the filters cost ? is there anyway to stack a filter on the WA converter ?

Locally, the viewfinder (GV-2, 28mm) costs around 240 SGD.

I am going for the WA and the 21mm Viewfinder.

Can anyone tell me if the WA lens can be stack with ND filter ?
 

Hi the WA lens does not have filter threads for you to mount a filter so answer is no filters can be used with WA lens (unless u manage to find a way to mod yourself). But you can actually buy cokin P-size square ND/GND filters and use them handheld (most ppl just hold the GND filter infront of the lens instead of using the Cokin P-Mount holder).

The optical viewfinder cost about 200+ but very hard to find in sg. u can try ordering from BHPhoto or Adorama :)

Handheld ?? can we secure the P-cokin holder on the camera lens ?

I am assuming WA means 21mm wide angle? if so, there is threads, is 58mm.

just got my GRD III in hong kong for SGD$630 including extra 3rd party battery and 8GB SD card and loving it!

good alternative for people who don't mind the 'warranty only valid in hk' part and perfect for those who travel to hong kong often!

which shop did u get it from in HK? going there this Dec! :devil:

Interested in getting one of this, but thinking of getting a GRD from ebay (used) cause many said it has better BW pictures as compared to the GRD III

any advice?

you could try looking around this website, http://www.price.com.hk/product.php?p=113276 they listed some prices that are even better than mine!

do take a look at http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=635497&highlight=HONG+KONG first though, its really helpful for shopping for cameras in hk!

im not sure about the GRD, but Ricoh just released the firmware update which includes "Addition of “high contrast B&W
Shoot black and white photos with higher than normal contrast. This makes it possible to create images with a grainy feel such as that created by using ultra-high-sensitivity film in a film camera or by push processing film at the development stage."
which i think is supposed to be an answer to those who are looking for the GRD's quality of B&W pictures!

For people who have same problem as me, replacement ring costs $25 (incl gst) from the distributor.
 

this camera is good but its quite expensive for compact camera sensor, whats your opinion ?
