Today i received my JJC hood and adaptor for the GRD4 From China. (that was quick !)
Rushed to get it out of the box to compare with the Ricoh genuine part.
As clones go it's near identical. Right down to the locking parts. The JJC is a nearer colour match too.
The JJC hood is a tighter fit on the adaptor than the Ricoh. The ricoh rattles slightly.
I cant comment on the filter thread because i have no wide angle lens to try or filters to try. Looks ok to me though.
Now i have a spare hood and adaptor for the GRD 4. I am very happy with both.
Trouble is, if i was to be blindfolded and asked to fit both adaptors to the camera, I would likely think the JJC one was
the genuine part. One set has to go.
JJC or Ricoh ???????? The JJC (from China) was £20. The Ricoh (from spain) was just over £50
I will sell either i dont mind. I would like £20 for the JJC. Or £45 for the Ricoh (hardly used)
Cheers all. PS. Top camera is the GRD4. Glad i bought it.
