FacebookTwitterEmailShare


The Ricoh GR Facebook page posted an interesting message a few days ago indicating a “GR restart” (Google translation):

“In 2018, we are preparing for the new website “GR official” as a very important thing to work on for the first time to restart GR. (Scheduled to start in April)”

There is also this interesting post by asahi man indicating that a new Ricoh GR III camera would come in September for the 2018 Photokina show:


The current Ricoh GR II model was announced in June 2015 and is currently on backorder at B&H and Adorama.
