question

Is this flash compatible with Ricoh GR II?
Asked by: Reza M.
According to the Ricoh GR II Digital Camera's instruction manual, the Ricoh GF-1 External Flash, B&H # RIGF1, is listed as the only flash compatible for use with the Ricoh GR II Digital Camera. Unfortunately, this flash has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase. While you may mount the Pentax AF360FGZ II Flash onto the Ricoh GR II Digital Camera, you will have to set the flash output fully manually. There would be no TTL automatic flash exposure when using this flash on the Ricoh GR II. The Pentax flash and the Ricoh camera use different TTL systems and have different pin alignments on the camera's and flash's hot shoe, so you must set the output manually.
