The JJC lens cap will leave a circle of marks around the lens because the lens cap is metal and will rub against the camera body. Long-term use will cause a circle of paint to peel off.

Thanks for the head up on that.

Agree on the viewfinder. I bought one for the GR3X and it’s dreadful. I like the lens cap too but I’ve dropped it so many times I can’t even tell you. Still debating the thumb grip. I find I’m constantly knocking the ADJ settings (especially the +/- comp) so I’ve stopped using it. Also made it uncomfortable in the pocket because it’s quite “sharp”. Finally while I *love* the PD wrist strap on other cameras I find it’s too bulky for the GR3X. Instead use the OG strap with a rubber O ring or simply tie a knot in it.

If form factor isn't the biggest issue, the Squarehood GR Glass is amazing. It a square lens hood with a piece of glass infront, so that help with dust prevention as well.

Great video, really useful thank you. I have quite a few JJC accessories for various cameras and they are all very good quality for the price. What is the book to the left of the accessories you are reviewing?

@islandbyfilm 2 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for watching and for the great feedback. The book on the left is Wayward from Photographer Chris Burkard.

Wish Ricoh could move on to designing a lens similar to the Fujifilm X70.

@islandbyfilm 4 ай бұрын

Ya that would be fantastic. They might need slightly more thickness in the body but I’d be OK with that.

I've got the X70, there's a couple of caveats that come with the design: 1. It's still a dust magnet since it's not an internal mechanism. So being non-retracting made no difference to the size after I had to put a filter system on to both the X70 and GRIII. 2. It's pretty bad wide open beyond a couple meteres or so. It's pretty poor quality in general beyond 2.5m, but at 2.8 it's just mush. If they're taking things from the X70, I prefer they take the flip up selfie screen.

How about the nisi hood/filter adapter?

To be honest, I hadn’t considered that one at all, but I will take a look. Thanks for watching my video. I really appreciate it.
