Help please. I have just purchased (used- good condition) items for much my much loved GR. The items are. GW-1. GT-1 AND GH-1. Unfortunately the GH-1 (Adapter) which the other items fit perfectly, is to small to fit the GR! All items are clearly marked and genuine. Did Ricoh make different models of the GH-1. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi John - If you have the GR launched in 2013 then I believe you need the Ricoh GH-3 (which was used on the GR and the GRII) - I also believe the GW-1 was for an earlier GR Digital model, and the GW-3 is the one you need for the GR. The same set up I used on my GRII : https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/fs--ricoh-gw-3---gh-3---petal-hood---rear...

The model naming is confusing and very prone to error

Thanks Lenny. Before I bought these items I did my homework, the advice through Google etc. was without exception that the GH-1 and others were suitable for the GR & GRii. which led me to ask my question, I will try and source a GH-3 and try that, my next thought though is will the GW-1 and GT-1 fit the GH-3. Life sure is interesting.
