Lens Cap

Really nice aluminum lens cap — solid, premium feel and a perfect fit on the GR III. It’s a joy to use, adds a bit of weight in a good way, and protects the lens. Highly recommended.

Good quality

I got this to protect my new GR IIIx when the camera is in my bag. This will hopefully keep some dust away when the camera is not being used. The only issue is you need to remember to take it off before turning on the camera... it's pretty snug and might not pop off causing a lens error.

It's a metal lense cover with a soft lining. Works good!

I just got the gr iii and wanted a way to protect the closing elements in the front and to keep dust out of the lens when not in use. This cap fits perfectly and has the felt liner all on the inside (including the part that makes contact with the camera ring). Make sure to follow the instructions and to press it on when you first get it and leave it on for 12 hours before removing it. This is made out of metal and looks like it will last. I used a label maker and made a label for the front of the cap that says "remove first" and one label on the ridge of the cap that you can see when looking down from the top of the camera. The reason I did this is because leaving the cap on and turning on the camera can cause ware on the cameras motor. I know that it is supposed to "pop off" if you accidentally leave it on, BUT I would rather not do it and risk damage to my camera.

Since the Ricoh has a document problem with dust I wanted to get something that would seal the retractable lens from exterior debris. This thing locks into the mount after you remove the ring from the Ricoh with a solid fit. It opens and closes automatically so you don't have to worry about taking off the lens cap to get the shot. For all intensive purposes this is a lens cap and imo that should be something that protects that lens from scratches and limited impacts to the surface of the lens. But it's not sealed. Each petal has a bit of relief from the other that dust can enter. This also increased the depth of the camera losing some of the thinness which the ricoh is know for and making it a tad less pocketable. In my opinion you're better off getting the hard lens cap and remove it on your own since its more of a sealed unit. It also offers more protection and combine it with the JJC tape on UV filter. To minimize pressure against the thin camera lens shutter petals which can accidentally be pressed against which could lead to damage. If you want to utilize filters full time you're better off using the nisi filter or ricoh's 49mm filter adapter which both clip on and also offer a better seal then this product and overall protection.

This one is good but there is a problem is I always forgot to take it off when power on the camera. Then the cover will drop down to the floor. If there is a string that will be good because it can connect the camera and the cover so the cover will not fall down.

NOTE: this will NOT fit the lens of the Ricoh GR4. Otherwise, it is a quality product for the Ricoh GR3.

Good

The lens cap a not meant for gr2 or gr3. If is loose fitting.

Protege muy bien la cámara, no se enrosca, es más como de succión, entonces está perfecto y además me gusta mucho que dice GR. He leído en varios lados que la RICOH sufre de polvo en el lente, pero desconozco si esto aumenta o disminuye el riesgo de que eso suceda, hasta el momento todo bien. De igual forma planeo comprar un adaptador para lentes de 49mm y ponerle un filtro UV o ND para que proteja el lente por defecto sin tener que dejarlo expuesto en ningún momento.

Perfect for protecting the lens when the Ricoh GR is turned off. Good friction fit to the camera's body ring. Tension loosens slightly over time. Be careful when new to not turn on the camera with cap on as lens pushes against the cap and get stuck. After some time the lens is able to push off the cap, but best not to put too much pressure on lens. Able to fit the JJC filter adapter with filter as well, though doesn't feel quite as tight.

GRのレンズ回りを保護するアルミ素材のかぶせカバーです。 手持ちのGR IIIxに取り付けました。 外側は黒のアルミ素材です。 GRはロゴマークとフォントが異なりますが、アクセサリーとして雰囲気がそろっているので良いと思います。 内側は周りが起毛素材になっています。 最初のかぶせはかなりきつく、内側の起毛部分がフィットしてくると付け外ししやすくなります。 ただし、回すとリングと一緒に外れてしまうので、真っ直ぐに付け外しする必要がある点に注意が必要です。 また、付けた状態で電源を入れるとレンズを出せずに「レンズが異常です。」とエラーが表示されて電源が切れます。電源ボタンも触らないようにしましょう。 GRのリングがボディいっぱいまであるため、本品を付けると平置きすできないのはしょうがないですね。 撮影時にはGRの最大の特徴とも言える速写性を損なうため外しておくことをおすすめします。 収納時に沈胴するレンズ回りを保護するのに良いと思います。
