Last night, I caught sight of a GV-1 viewfinder for £49 and bought it in an instant, I couldn't believe it. Money saved...:)

That IS a bargain! :) I paid £69 from a dealer a couple of years back for one to use on my GRD III and I thought that was cheap.
 
I was going to post a link but I wasn't sure whether it compromises security of my account, after all it's only listed there now. But hey Cidereye, this viewfinder also comes with the proper GR Digital pouch for it too. :)

Although, I'm more desperate for the GH-3 adapter and hood more than anything else...

Me too. But will need to get new filters as its 49mm
 
Hey 33', the last time I looked the GH-3 adapter only fits 43mm filters...

It's a shame that Hoya Pro1 filters don't manufacture this size. It would be good to know what all the rest of you guys will be using for a filter.
I was planning on buying the Hoya digital HMC UV filter, I don't know if there are any better ones out there...

I'm jealous! That's a great price!!

Of course, now I'm trying and searching all over and can't find anything close to a discount... Will you give me a PM/email if you come across anything like that again? I came from rangefinders so having a viewfinder on my GR might make it even better. (At least I sure want to try that out.)
 
Hey 33', it looks like all the online stores in the UK are listing the adapter as fitting 43mm filters. Of course, the Pentax Ricoh site is the one to look to for the proper info I guess...
I just wonder why every UK online site has it listed as 43mm...?

dark', I will let you know of these things, no worries...

Hey dark', there's a new listing of a GV-1 finder. You'll have to bid and it's still got 9 days to go but it's starting out at a crazy low price. It's only at £11.61 at the moment with only 5 bids

Thanks, paulyrichard. However, the listing only says that seller would only ship within the EU. I'm in the US :cry:
