Ricoh GV-2 Reviews

Small but useful

I bought this for my Ricoh GRIII, but ended up using it for my M4 Leica with a 25mm Zeiss Biogon. You can't beat it for the size, and it's bright and useful. The optical quality is excellent.

Outrageous

“when not in use stores nicely in the included case” ‘Case’? It’s a flimsy cloth pouch! Massively overpriced, then saying it includes a ‘case’? Outrageous!

question

Please explain the 1:1 Aspect Ratio marks.Thanks!
Asked by: Anonymous
Be aware that the latest Ricoh GR (V) has a 3:2 sensor, while the earlier were 4:3.So I expect the GV-2 has 4:3 lines. This should probably be added to the specs.

What is difference between GV-1 and GV-2 besides GV-1 also has 21mm frame and GV-2 has 1:1 aspect ratio marks?
Asked by: Damon
Ricoh GV-2 Mini External Viewfinder only covers 28mm angle of view, while Ricoh GV-1 External Viewfinder covers for 21mm and 28mm. The 21mm would be needed if you are using the Ricoh GW-4 Wide Conversion Lens on your GR cameras.

I need a diopter adjustment with my SLR viewfinder as I use glasses to read. I assume this has no diopter so will it suit my vision?
