I'm one of those people !!

Try some kind of 3M adhesive tape (just look for those that leave no residue). That's what I used. Enjoy your GR, man! Thanks for stopping by!

Gaff tape.

Yeah, you're right! I'm happy with mine, too. As long as it works.

yep, still clean

Yup. That’s how most of the dust enters.

Hahaha, yeah, GRII was an even bigger dust disaster, than GRIII for sure. And yes you are right, just shoot it and have fun or sell it!

The one I've got is by the brand called Deerekin. Full name is smth like "MCUV Filter Lens for GRIII GRIIIx" probably still available on the aliexpress or eBay. There is one from JJC, but that one is kind of thick and tend to gather more dust around it instead of keeping it away, so I would'n go with that one.

"Fingers crossed"

May never come. I hear there may be a bespoke B/W Ricoh though. I dunno, unless they make something radically better I'm ok with my GRiiix i think. I just love the colours. Great tips btw thanks!

It's most likely coming since the GRIII is barely in stock anymore, a usual sign of a newer camera coming out.

Hell yeah! I just keep mine in the store, better safe than sorry.

Yeah, of course. But you know what they say: “It ain't much, but it's honest work”. It's just my way of dealing with the common problem, doesn't mean it's right for everyone. Thanks for the comment!

Fingers crossed! At least to some degree, or from the dust on the sensor - I'll take it!

Whatever floats your boat, my friend

Unfortunately for all of us, me included, this is just a desire for the fully weather sealed GR. If they ever come up with such GR I'd be genuinely surprised. My general advice would be, buy a camera if it offers what you need right now. Otherwise, it's a race that you can't keep up with without spending money all the time. At the same time, I understand your concern, but looking at the Ricoh's last release being GRIII diary edition, I would say you're safe for another half a year, maybe a year or so before they release anything else.

@@Alex_SMK Thanks for the info. I already have a full-frame Sony (A7 IV) with good glass that I use for most of my work. However, for street photography, carrying something like that all the time is not ideal. The form factor of the Ricoh GRIII would allow me to have a camera in my pocket at all times, ready to shoot. I think I'm going to buy one for that very purpose.

@bonbon_ann2701 no prob. It's one of the reasons I bought mine too. So far, so good, as long as you can find it for a reasonable price.

Hey, let me tell you the easiest way to get the perfect size you need for that. Just get the regular office hole puncher, works like a charm. Let me know if it worked for you! Cheers!

Have my fingers crossed for this year, but don't take my word for it

I've used 3M adhesive tape (just look for those that leave no residue)

I think 6mm hole punch will probably work too, I didn't measure the one I used tbh. If you feel cute, you can even buy them star or heart shaped or else as well, haha! Thanks for stopping by!

Nah, my guy, there is nothing wrong with you GRIIIx

@@Alex_SMK are you sure? I thought the photos looked pretty bad. Can barely see anything

I used 3M adhesive tape (just look for the type that leaves no residue)

It's 3M adhesive sealing tape (the kind that leaves no residue). I don't have the exact marking of it, because it probably differs from country to country. But I'm sure you can find something similar at the hardware store near you. Hope it helps!

@@Alex_SMK cool I appreciate it bud I never use video on my GRIII and dust getting into it is something I always worry about.

@@alfonsovegaiii yeah, you're not alone in this... hope they will improve the sealing in the future models

My solution: 3M self-adhesive tape, protective case
