Celebrating 30 Years of the Snap: Introducing the RICOH GR IV 30th Anniversary Edition Kit

Three decades ago, Ricoh redefined snapshot photography with the launch of the iconic GR1 film camera in October 1996. Built on the core principles of exceptional image quality, lightning fast response, and ultra portable design, the GR series has earned a permanent place in the pockets of street photographers, seasoned pros, and dedicated enthusiasts worldwide. To honour this milestone, Ricoh Imaging has officially announced the RICOH GR IV 30th Anniversary Edition Kit. Limited to just 6,000 units worldwide, this special kit brings vintage design touches to the modern GR IV camera body. What makes the 30th Anniversary Kit special? While the core hardware shares the high performance of the standard GR IV, the anniversary edition adds several custom aesthetic details and collectible accessories inspired by the original 1996 GR1:

Classic Inspired Design: The shutter release and rear buttons feature a unique metallic finish reminiscent of the plated coating on the original GR1.
Diamond Cut Ring Cap: The exclusive "GN-3 (30th)" ring cap is engineered with a diamond-cut finish that subtly catches light when the lens is retracted, designed carefully to prevent reflections while shooting.
Custom Power Off Screen: A special 30th anniversary shutdown graphic appears every time you turn off the camera.
Premium Leather Finger Strap: Includes an exclusive genuine leather finger strap ("GS-4 (30th)") engraved with "30th ANNIVERSARY."
Steel Gray Hot Shoe Cover: A special edition metal cover ("GK-2 (30th)") featuring the 30th anniversary logo on the front and "RICOH GR" on the reverse.
Collector Pin Badge Set: Includes 16 custom pin badges - 14 representing past GR models alongside two exclusive GR logo pins.
