“Ricoh GR is one of our most important premium cameras. We want to reassure our GR lovers that the series will continue.”
If you missed the dpreview interview with Ricoh at Photokina (I shared it already on Facebook and Twitter few days ago), here is an interesting quote regarding the future of the GR line:
And, having discussed the Pentax K-1, 645Z and Theta, we wanted to check whether the company still has time for models such as the GR. Absolutely, says Saiki: ‘Ricoh GR is one of our most important premium cameras. We want to reassure our GR lovers that the series will continue.’
Might that extend to GRs with other focal lengths? ‘It depends,’ says Saiki: ‘we know we really appeal. We have so many GR lovers, it’s a very emotional attachment. That’s why we need to listen to customers about where we should go.’
