* Squarehood

I mentioned Squarehood because it’s one of the few Ricoh GR accessories that isn’t just aesthetic—it’s genuinely well-built and actually tackles the GR’s dust-ingress problem. The bayonet-mounted design with Japanese AGC optical glass gives the camera a tight, one-piece feel while delivering that Leica-esque rectangular hood silhouette.

Pros

  • +High build quality with Japanese AGC optical glass
  • +Anti-scratch and anti-glare coatings
  • +Helps protect the GR lens mechanism from dust ingress
  • +Bayonet mount means no separate bulky filter adapter needed
  • +Leica-inspired rectangular hood look

Cons

  • -Adds bulk and reduces the GR’s legendary pocketability
  • -Replaces the GR’s automatic lens barrier workflow with a rubber cap
  • -Haze version bakes in diffusion, not as quick to remove mid-shoot
