Today, we officially announced the RICOH GR IV Monochrome.
*For details such as product specifications and release date, please refer to the press release.

The GR IV Monochrome is the model whose development we announced in October. Based on the GR IV, it features a newly developed dedicated image sensor that specializes in monochrome photography.

The full story behind the GR IV Monochrome—its conceptual intent, the developer’s vision, and the unique features and evolution of monochrome photography—is too extensive to cover here. Please watch this video interview to learn more.

We hope to convey the appeal of monochrome photography as we see it.
