Description from the seller
Ricoh GR1 35mm premium compact camera in excellent condition, minimal signs of use.
The LCD screen shows only a small portion of the information (a known issue with this model). This does not affect the camera's operation; the camera otherwise works perfectly. Comes with the original box, manual and papers, a very complete and collectible set.
The Ricoh GR1 is an iconic 35mm film point-and-shoot camera that has achieved cult status among photographers. The camera is equipped with the famous 28mm f/2.8 GR lens, known for its exceptional sharpness, high contrast and characterful image rendering. Despite its compact size, this lens delivers image quality on par with high-end prime lenses.
Thanks to its ultracompact design, the GR1 is ideal for street photography and everyday use. The camera features fast autofocus, automatic exposure, and minimalist controls that allow you to shoot quickly. The high-quality magnesium/titanium construction gives the camera a premium feel and makes it very sturdy at the same time.
The Ricoh GR1 is regarded by many photographers as one of the best 35mm compact cameras ever made and is today highly sought after by collectors and street photographers alike.
Key features:
35mm film camera
28mm f/2.8 Ricoh GR lens
Magnesium/titanium body
Autofocus and automatic exposure
Compact and lightweight design
