"●Main features of RICOH extenal mini finder GV-3 Designed for exclusive use with the RICOH GR IIIx, this external optical viewfinder features a focus frame (1:1 aspect ratio; a picture guide mark provided) indicating an image field equivalent to the 40mm angle of view in the 35mm format. Carrying case included. "
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on 鶹. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Think of the GR3x as $1299 camera with a optical viewfinder, not as a $240 add on. Photographers will buy a $1000 camera body knowing that they will need to buy at least a $300-400 lens to shoot photos. Basically the same cost as a complete GR3x but instead of having to buy a lens it’s a optical viewfinder. The Ricoh GR models don’t include a flip back, weather sealing, or electronic viewfinder. I know we dream of having them, but it is what it is. No need to factor that against it’s strengths. Big bulky cameras are always available with all those features except they won’t fit in your pocket.
I purchased the GV3 viewfinder because: 1) I can frame up a scene without turning the camera on. 2) It’s easier to compose in bright sunlight. 3) Holding the camera to the eye, especially in low light, allows for steadier shots.
Non c’è paragone con oggetti simili a costi notevolmente più bassi. Ottima fattura, ottime lenti. Molto funzionale (quasi indispensabile) quando si usa la fotocamera con molta luce a causa della quale il monitor non si vede.
Für die winzige Größe recht gut. Im Dunkeln ist er sehr hell. Schade ist, dass er nur 85% abdeckt. Mir wäre es allerdings lieber, wenn man von oben in den Sucher schauen könnte. Wäre für eine Streekamera besser.

The Ricoh GR IIIX is an excellent camera for street photography except in direct sunlight where you cannot see the back screen because it does not articulate. This viewfinder is the solution. While it is challenging for those who wear glasses like myself, it provides enough orientation to allow pictures when you cannot see the back screen. It's well made and would have been better if the was EVF and a bit bigger. I use it like a gun sight, leaving a bit of room for framing error. It works this way for me. It is the most overpriced piece of camera gear I have purchased.
Tiny optic that some will find useful. Set up the GR3x to point and shoot and use this optic instead of the screen. It is unobtrusive and very effective. It is, however, the most overpriced accessory in this galaxy. I would buy it again for the function that it enhances. It merits 5 stars except for the price.
