NiSi Master Kit for Ricoh GR III – 49mm adapter with 2-filter holder and 360° rotation
This NiSi Master Kit is designed specifically for the Ricoh GR III compact camera. It provides a lens adapter, a filter holder that accepts 49mm-threaded mounting, a decorative silver ring, and five filters. The kit lets you mount a filter system that stays on the camera safely, even when the camera is switched Off or set to Playback with the lens retracted.
Why this kit is useful for Ricoh GR III users
The adapter in this kit mounts to the Ricoh GR III and can remain attached while the camera cycles between On, Off, and Playback modes. As a result, you can keep your filter system in place during normal use without removing the adapter each time. In addition, the filter holder supports up to two filters at once and rotates 360°, which is useful when positioning graduated filters or adjusting a circular polarizer.

Key features and use cases
Lens Adapter: The adapter mounts securely to the Ricoh GR III and can remain on the camera even when the camera is turned Off or in Playback mode with the lens retracted. This keeps your filter system ready on the camera at all times.
Filter Holder: The holder attaches to the adapter via a 49mm filter thread. It accepts up to two filters simultaneously without vignetting, and it can rotate a full 360 degrees. These features let you combine filters and precisely position graduated filters or a polarizer for creative control.
Silver Ring: The kit includes a decorative silver ring to change the camera’s appearance while providing the needed interface to attach the filter holder.
Filters included and their purpose
Polarizer: The polarizing filter increases color saturation and contrast and reduces reflections from surfaces such as water and windows. It enhances sky tones and shades and is particularly useful for landscape photography. Polarization effects are difficult to reproduce accurately in post-processing, making this filter valuable for in-camera control.
NiSi IRND8 (3 stop): This neutral density filter extends exposure time by 3 stops. It is made from high-quality optical glass with a nano coating to preserve detail richness while reducing light transmission.
NiSi IRND64 (6 stop): This neutral density filter extends exposure time by 6 stops. Like the IRND8, it uses high-quality optical glass with a nano coating to maintain detail and image quality during long exposures.
NiSi Soft Graduated ND8: The soft graduated ND8 is densest at the edge and transitions gradually to clear toward the center, with a soft transition zone. Photographers often use this soft grad when the background lacks hard outlines. The filter can be moved within the holder to compose the scene for best results. Neutral density filters do not affect the image color.
NiSi Medium Graduated ND8: The medium graduated ND8 is densest at the edge and transitions to clear in the middle with a more defined gradation than the soft version. Like the soft grad, it can be moved in the holder to position the transition for optimal composition, and it does not alter color balance.

FAQ
Question: Will the adapter stay on my Ricoh GR III when the camera is turned Off or in Playback mode?
Answer: Yes. The included lens adapter is designed to remain mounted on the Ricoh GR III even when the camera is Off or in Playback with the lens retracted, so your filter system can stay attached.
Question: Can I use two filters at the same time without vignetting?
Answer: Yes. The filter holder accepts up to two filters simultaneously and is designed to avoid vignetting on the Ricoh GR III.
Question: How does the rotating holder help when using a polarizer or graduated ND filters?
Answer: The 360° rotation lets you precisely angle a circular polarizer for optimal reflection reduction and color saturation. It also helps you align graduated ND filters so the transition matches the scene.
Question: Do the neutral density filters affect color balance?
Answer: No. NiSi states that these neutral density filters do not affect the color of the image, and the IRND filters use nano-coated optical glass to preserve detail and image quality during longer exposures.
