Ricoh GR1V 35mm Point & Shoot Film Camera

The Ricoh GR1V is the holy grail of compact film cameras—praised by street photographers, photojournalists, and film enthusiasts alike for its razor-sharp 28mm f/2.8 GR lens, pocketable build, and intuitive controls. This is the final evolution of the legendary GR1 line, featuring aperture priority, manual ISO override, and improved flash modes, making it one of the most capable and refined compact film cameras ever produced.

This is the kind of camera you carry everywhere—compact enough to disappear into a pocket, yet powerful enough to render consistently stellar results. Whether you're chasing decisive moments or loading it with Cinestill for dreamy night shots, the GR1V is ready.

Condition: Good

This Ricoh GR1V is in good working condition, showing noticeable cosmetic wear consistent with regular use. The LCD in the viewfinder is fully functional, displaying all critical shooting information, including exposure compensation, focus confirmation, and mode settings.

Like nearly all GR1V units at this point, the top LCD display is partially dim—you can still read the frame counter, but settings like ISO or flash mode are not visible from the top. However, these settings are also mirrored in the viewfinder, so the camera remains perfectly usable. This is a well-documented issue tied to degradation in the LCD ribbon cable.

The lens is clean, with a small amount of internal haze that does not affect image quality in any noticeable way.

A solid example of a cult classic ready to shoot with, or just as welcome in a serious collection.
