DC.watch (google translation here) reports that Ricoh-Pentax started a new customization service for the Ricoh GR. As you see form these pics you can change the top cover, knobs and the grip color. I see some Pentax influence here 🙂
One more GR news: There is a new review at Imaging Resource.

$4000?
Uh oh Ricoh has found Pentax’s ugly stick… What’s more daft looking than an actual wooden grip on a camera? A faux wooden grip.
In my opinion Ricoh GR are perfect in all black. Like a Ferrari can be nice/beautiful in other colors, but perfect in red.
What are they thinking with these ugly wooden grips? Olympus with the E-P5, now Ricoh, this seems a virus of bad taste… Admin, do you have any news about a possible GR with zoom lens?
I would love to customize a GR with a fast collapsible 50mm equivalent 🙂
I would not call it “Pentax influence” until I see some Evangelion color schemes.
I think they look really nice. Why do people complain so damn much?
To be fair, customized GRD has been common in Japan for a long time. They have a cult following over there and I have seen plenty of weird customizations of earlier GRD models. It’s not really strange nor really a Pentax influence.
