GT-2 Tele Conversion Lens

Ricoh GT-2 Tele Conversion Lens — A Second Focal Length in Your Pocket

The gist: A 1.5x tele converter that extends the GR IIIx from its native 40mm equivalent to 75mm — adding a compressed portrait/street focal length to the same pocketable body without a lens change or a second camera.

• 40mm to 75mm equivalent reach: Converts the GR IIIx to a 75mm portrait-friendly focal length (with in-camera crop) — useful for tighter street candids, environmental portraits, and subjects you can't physically get closer to.
• 5-element, 3-group optical construction: A dedicated multi-element design built specifically for the GR's lens, so image quality degrades minimally compared to generic crop or digital zoom.
• Compact with included carrying pouch: Threads onto the front of the GR body (via the GA-2 Lens Adapter, sold separately) and ships with a carry pouch — small enough to slip into a jacket pocket alongside the camera.
• Up to ~107mm in secondary crop mode: In-camera secondary crop can push the effective focal length further for tighter isolations when needed, though at reduced resolution output.

DPReview's full sample gallery for the GR IIIx + GT-2 combination demonstrates real-world image quality at 75mm, confirming usable sharpness and characteristic GR rendering at the converted focal length.

Best for: Ricoh GR IIIx (or GR III) owners who want a second focal length for portrait or telephoto street work without adding a second body to their travel bag. Skip it if: You don't own the GA-2 Lens Adapter (required for mounting and sold separately), or if 40mm already covers everything you shoot. Runs ~$270 — check the current price before buying.
