    Description

    This is the Ricoh factory Wide-angle Conversion set which works for and with the GRii APS-C compact camera. The camera normally comes with a fixed 28mm (equivalent) lens; when this set is attached, it widens the FOV (field-of-view) to an ultra-wide 21mm equivalent. The GW-3 is the actual lens itself - but to attach it to the camera, you need the additional GH-3 'lens hood' (the lens doesn't work without it). I am including both in this sale.  To attach them you need to remove the front (decorative) lens ring from the camera lens itself, which exposes the bayonet-mount to which the GH-3 attaches; the GW-3 then screws into the GH-3. The lens itself is extremely high quality, and when mounted, it turns your Ricoh GRii into a very cool ultra-wide camera, particularly useful for either landscapes or very wide architectural or interior views. It comes equipped with lens caps for both ends, as well as a soft case to carry them in. This is one of the few - and great - accessories for the GR II. NOTE: if you have the 1st generation GR, or the 3rd generation GRiii, it won't fit; it's only made to fit the GRii.  I'm selling them only because I haven't used them enough to justify keeping them, and I hope they will go to a Ricoh photographer who can make use of them!
    Due to prohibitive international shipping costs and times, I only ship to the U.S. and Canada. Shipping will cost .50 via USPS Priority Mail in the U.S., and via Air Post to Canada. I don't offer refunds, so please be certain you are willing and able to purchase this before bidding. I'll do my best to answer any questions in a timely fashion, but if you've read this far, you probably know as much as I do. Please note that the camera which appears in the final two photos (my own GRii) is NOT for sale; only the Wide-Angle lens + lens hood (GW3 + GH3) are for sale.
    Incidentally, finding a Wide Conversion lens package in good shape domestically is getting harder and harder. I'm keeping my initial price low, in the hopes that it will be affordable for fellow photographers.
