Must Have Accessories | Ricoh GR III

  • January 8, 2020
  • Alik

Here are some of the best brands of accessories for the Ricoh GR III, a legendary street photography beast.

 

Best Accessories Ricoh GR III | The Basics

 

Best Screen Protectors Ricoh GR III

An absolute must-have accessory for these little mirrorless compact street cameras is a screen protector. These cameras don’t have the crazy high endurance glass screens as modern DSLRs, they will scratch, they will delaminate, they will break. 

Using a screen protector is the best way to preserve the life and value of your camera.

Here are my favorite screen protectors.

Expert Shield Screen Protector Ricoh GR III

Available At: Amazon

They have a few options from Anti-Glare, to Cyrstal Clear to Glass. I usually like glass. The Anti Glare is great too if you’re shooting a lot on sunny days but it will reduce the display quality.

 

 

Best Batteries Ricoh GR III

Some people like only using official batteries, some people are ok with third-party batteries. I personally like to always use my official battery as my primary,  then keep some third-party as a backup. It really depends on you though, and how much you like to shoot in a day.

If you’re coming from a GR II, note that the GR III uses new batteries and your GR II batteries will not work.

Official Ricoh GR III Battery

Available At: Amazon

These are the official batteries off the Ricoh GR III. The official batteries usually last the longest and have the most reliable performance. Since the GRIII likes to eat batteries, it might not be a bad idea to have a few of these.

 

Wasabi Ricoh GR III Batteries

Available At: Amazon

Of the third-party battery brands, Wasabi is one of the best. They offer these great little charging kits with two batteries at an incredible price.

I’ve found with these third party batteries it’s usually a good idea to cycle them (full charging and discharging) about 5 times. This way you get the best performance. 

 

Best Ricoh GR III Memory Cards

I’ve tested all the most popular memory cards in the GR III and you can learn everything you need to know about memory cards in my guide.

Lens Accessories

One thing that’s really interesting about the GR III is its ability to use a wide-angle lens converter. It can also take UV filters.

The lens does retract and you might not need a UV filter. I personally try not to use UV filters if I don’t have to. They diminish some of the cool looks you can get from lens flares from having a curved front element. Regardless, I will list everything here.

 

Ricoh GR III Wide Angle Converter

Available At: Amazon

Adapter At: Amazon

The wide-angle converter gives you a 21mm equivalent focal length. On the front housing around the lens, there is a ring that removes. Behind it are some CPU contacts that will allow the camera to communicate with this lens, but you do need to get the adapter. I’ve listed both.

 

Ricoh GR III UV Filter Kit

Available At: Amazon

If you like using UV filters on this camera you can get a nice one by JJC. It uses sticky tape to mount to the front of the lens. These UV filters are nice because they help stop dust from getting inside the components since the Ricoh does have a few issues with dust sneaking into the camera and getting on the sensor.

 

 

Ricoh GR III Cases & Body Accessories

 

There are a few nice carrying cases for the GRIII, but also you can get body cases that will help protect the body and add grip while you are shooting.

For my street cameras, I almost always use some sort of leather half case.

Gariz Leather Half Case GR III

Available At: Amazon

I’ve used several Gariz cases over the years on different cameras. They make some nice gear and their cases do a great job of adding additional grip and protection. This case does have an aluminum base and this will add height to the body of the camera which is great for those with big hands.

It also comes in brown.

 

Soft Case For GR III

Available At: Amazon

There is an official soft case for the Ricoh GR III sold by Ricoh.

Like the Gariz case above, it is made of genuine leather. What is genuine leather? It’s basically the same thing as a hotdog. All the bits of leftover leather pressed into leather sheets. Sometimes it can mean just not top grain or full grain as well.

 

 

Ricoh GR III Camera Straps

It’s always tough recommending straps because there are so many now from so many different brands.

There are the cotton straps like the VKO that are popular, and there are the Peak Design wrist straps that are popular that you probably already know about. I will list you a few straps you may have never heard of that I like and that I think are pretty cool.

NOTE: With the GRIII, you can’t just buy any strap, it has to have to work with the strap lugs of the GRIII, be careful about this. It takes the little compact strap types that have threaded connections.

 

Gordy’s Camera Straps

Must Have Accessories Sony A6000, A6300, A6500Available At: Gordy’s Straps

This is a cool little leather company out of the USA that uses high-quality leather to make various straps and wrist straps. Some are really cool and they age very well.

I’m not affiliated with them in any way but I do like their stuff and have used their wrist straps with my X100 cameras for years.

Here is one of their straps I like on my old Sony.

 

LuigisCases

Available At: LuigisCases

This is the real deal leather out of Italy. This is top-tier, no, god-tier leather. It literally doesn’t get better than this. These are the best leather straps you can buy, even better than Tap & Dye.

My tip for navigating this site. Get a cup of coffee, put on some relaxing music, maybe sweat pants and maybe sit down in a nice comfortable chair. It takes work. This is 100% legit though and I am not affiliated.

 

Tap&Dye, unfortunately, doesn’t make any compact style straps for this type of camera.

 

Must-Have Accessories Ricoh GR III Conclusions

These are all the basic accessories to get you started with the GR III a few nice choices between cases and straps.

If you find anything else cool let me know, please!
