Finally, we are getting strong hints that Ricoh GR III is coming this year. Take a look at the Ricoh GR recent development.
- Ricoh GR official Facebook page announced on 1st March 2018, Starting with word “RICOH GR re-launch”
- Official Ricoh GR official website is coming on April of 2018
- Ricoh GR III is coming on Sep 2018 [Rumor].
1. Ricoh GR official page and Website Confirmation
Take a look at the press text at Ricoh GR official webpage
It has been two and a half years since we finished “GR BLOG” that lasted ten years.
In the meantime, I was encouraged by the warm cheers of the fans and the wonderful photos.
It is embarrassing to speak too loudly, too, but I feel ashamed of GR, but GR has been a day to further strengthen the thought of being a tool to enjoy and nurture along with people who like photographs from now on .
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)
Prior to that, I started official Facebook on GR today.
It is the same as the era of GR BLOG, handmade and fumbling while starting.
I believe in the power of the content, I want to gradually step by step, so that the blank for two and a half years was rather a good charging period.
I would be happy if you could follow a lot of people.
~ A bit good thing with CP + ~
From today Integrated Camera Picture Show CP + will begin.
I will post a poster announcing the opening of GR official Facebook within the Ricoh booth, so please show my smartphone screen to the staff “Following Facebook”.
I will present a newly made GR sticker. (As the number is limited, it ends as soon as it is lost)
We are waiting for you at the Ricoh booth!

Has anyone considered the idea that the GR3 might actually be a film camera. There has been a massive rise in film usage and this is what made the Ricoh’s name in the first place. Just a thought.
