New: Ricoh GR III / GR IIIx HDF

For those of you with a Ricoh GR camera, a new version of the GR III and GR IIIx, called HDF (or, Highlight Diffusion Filter), was just announced. There’s not much different between the HDF model and the regular one other than the built-in ND filter has been replaced by a built-in diffusion filter. From the sample pictures produced by Ricoh, the effect of their “Highlight Diffusion Filter” is rather weird, and I think it is because they used ink. A CineBloom or Black Pro Mist would be much preferable, but attaching filters to the front of the camera requires an adapter which makes it not-pocketable; being able to slide the GR into my pants pocket is the main reason why I own one, so I don’t use filters with it personally.
