Ricoh GR III Series

Ricoh's pocketable APS-C street cameras.

The GR III and GR IIIx share the same APS-C sensor and compact body but differ in focal length. The GR III uses a 28mm equivalent — the classic street lens; the GR IIIx uses 40mm for a more versatile framing. Both are the most pocketable APS-C cameras available.
