Ricoh GR IIIx
The Ricoh GR IIIx takes the GR III's proven formula — 24.2MP APS-C sensor, pocket-sized body, exceptional optical quality — and changes the perspective to 40mm equivalent. The 40mm field of view sits at the intersection of street and portrait: wider than a conventional portrait prime, longer than a traditional street lens, and widely considered the most natural focal length relative to human vision. For photographers who find 28mm too wide for their compositional style, the GR IIIx provides the same exceptional corner-to-corner sharpness, the same Snap Focus capability, and the same pocketable form factor with a different creative perspective. The two GR III models are complementary rather than competitive — the choice between them is a choice of compositional instinct, not capability.
APS-C in a shirt pocket with a 40mm perspective — the GR IIIx is the ideal street portrait compact for photographers who want a slightly tighter frame.
