The Ricoh GR1s is a rare and highly sought-after premium 35mm point-and-shoot, celebrated for its minimalist design, sharp optics, and street photography pedigree. Combining exceptional image quality with a compact, discreet form, it's considered one of the finest compact film cameras ever made.
At its heart is the renowned 28mm f/2.8 GR lens, famous for its razor-sharp resolution, strong contrast, and excellent edge-to-edge clarity. Whether you're capturing city streets or travel moments, this lens consistently delivers stunning results.
Housed in a sleek, durable magnesium alloy body just 26mm thick, the GR1s is designed for photographers who demand both portability and precision. Key features include fully automatic exposure, responsive autofocus, exposure compensation, and a backlit LCD display—a practical addition that enhances usability in low light.
Now considered a cult classic, the GR1s has earned its place in 35mm history thanks to its understated design, professional-level optics, and intuitive controls.
