Ricoh GR external viewfinders
Small optical finders that clip onto the top of the camera. They all physically fit; what differs is the frame each one shows, which is what decides whether it matches your camera.

What to watch out for
External Viewfinder GV-1
- Optical, about 90% coverage, with 21mm and 28mm frame lines — so it suits the 28mm bodies, not the 40mm GR IIIx.
- A conversion lens or hood intrudes into the view.
External Mini Viewfinder GV-2
- About 85% coverage with a 28mm frame line and a 1:1 marking. Suits 28mm bodies.
External Mini Viewfinder GV-3
- About 85% coverage with a 40mm frame line — the one that matches the GR IIIx.
- Listed on the shared GR III/GR IIIx accessory page; the 40mm frame is only useful on a 40mm body.
