UV Protective Filter for Ricoh GR IV GR IIIx GR IIIx HDF GR III GR III HDF & GR II, 38 Layers Mulit-Coated Ultra Slim UV Ultraviolet Filter with Storage Case

Quality product, useful for Ricoh cameras

This protective filter worked perfectly. Very stealthy. Recommend for sure.

Nice

Easy to apply, added a blue tint to my photos though. Removal resulting in destroying the shutter assembly on the camera . Pulled it off on several pieces and cannot be replaced or repaired. Good times.

I used my Ricoh GR III in various situations, including landscape and street photography, and kept it in my pocket most of the time. I purchased the JJC UV Protective Filter back in March 2023. After two years of use, I found the filter most useful for protecting the lens from dusts and scratches.Its life finally came to its end during the scorching summer of 2025, when I took a road trip to the Gulf Coast. Due to the heat, the glass detached from the filter ring, which was still glued to the camera. As other reviewers have noted, the glue is extremely strong--so much so when I removed the filter, it nearly pulled off part of the lens's outer component, even after two years of use. The glue and the removal process can also leave scratches on the lens housing, which happened in my case.Would I purchase another one to protect my camera from dust and scratches? Perhaps.

Very nice

Be careful if you are trying to remove the filter. I followed the exact method shown in their product video to take off the UV filter, which was slightly misaligned. Even though it had been attached only a few seconds earlier, the adhesive was so strong that it completely removed the front lens cover component of my brand-new Ricoh GR III HDR. Luckily, I was able to reattach the part, and everything still works. I gave up on removing the filter and decided to live with the slight misalignment.

The kit does not come with instructions, but it is pretty easy to figure out what goes where. Youtube has some short videos showing its use.The product came packaged with some fishing line, a couple of metal rings, a spare ring of 3M adhesive, and instructions on how to remove the filter.
