Best & WEIRDEST RICOH GR IIIx Accessories
Рет қаралды 8,190
Күн бұрынThe Ricoh GR IIIx is my favorite digital camera right now, and in this video I showcase a bunch of accessories that I use with mine. I even share a unique way you can use your Ricoh GR IIIx like a film rangefinder. Maybe I’ll make a separate video going more in depth about that particular subject. Let me know in the comments if you’d like to see that.

Man what a complete video to answer most of the questions I have on potential accessories for the iiiX! Thank you so much. Was about to buy that plastic viewfinder due to its price but now I don’t think so anymore

The double shoe mount is what got me excited. I like the thumb grip accessory but I also use the viewfinder. Both use the shoe but there’s just one which is a problem. Thanks for making this video

I’m glad this helped! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The double shoe mount will raise the thumb grip a little, too. Keep in mind the Reveni double shoe is not a tight fit. For a very secure fit I would try a metal one.

Just curious do you even use the GV-3 to shoot when you're outside?

i see reviews where it says adding the UV filter does diltute the quality of images...though not significantly but by a margin. is that true?
@DrNickDanger 6 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comments! I’m glad you found the video helpful. The UV filter does not affect the image quality any more than adding a single sugar crystal to a cup of tea makes it sweeter. That is to say while it technically reduces the amount of light, it’s such a small fraction of a percentage of the light that in effect it’s negligible.

may I know is using that thin filter will damage the GT-2 Teleconverter when turn on? will it scratch the glass inside the tube ? please tell me I’m heading to buy it tmr 🙏🏻😄
@DrNickDanger 7 ай бұрын
It won’t touch the back of the teleconverter. But it will if you toggle into Macro mode which extends the lens, and camera will say “lens error”. That said, it will work fine in regular mode. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching!

thank you so so much 🙏🏻😄 what if I accidentally press macro mode is it going to damage the lens in the tube ? or it’s fine just say lens error 🙏🏻😄 sorry to disturb again
@DrNickDanger 7 ай бұрын
The lens error is likely there to protect the mechanism. It’s hard to trigger by accident if you’re mindful when shooting. Best of luck!

The Ricoh GV-3 is the Leica of viewfinders for the GRiii & iiiv. This optical viewfinder is too expensive for what it is. It seems unfair that because of Ricoh’s poor design decision not to lnclude any viewfinder I am penalized and have to cough up an additional $200+. I too used to shoot film in the previous century too and like to use a viewfinder, especially an EVF. This ain’t that. I’m putting my GRiiiv through it’s paces to see if I will keep or Craigslist it. I don’t like depending on the LCD. In bright light, which we occasionally have in Seattle, the screen is worthless. During these conditions I point and shoot. I much prefer placing the subject where I want in the frame. For me, this is the potential reason not to keep this camera. I knew this prior to purchasing this body. This camera may not be right for me. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Thank you for your comment, Marty. I did end up making another video about using the GR IIIx exclusively with a viewfinder, with the display off like a film camera. Feel free to watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsB6qJV3muCwlHk.html
