The release date is March 8, 2024. Pricing: Aluminum hood with integrated protective filter for GR III or GR IIIx is 15,400 JPY (tax included). Thumb grip is 8,250 JPY (tax included).

Both products have been overseen by Stockholm-based photographer Thomas Mansell. These camera accessories are planned by Swedish company Squarehood and imported for the Japanese market.
