Is Your Ricoh GR Viewfinder have a black spot? Your Beam Splitter Might Be Damaged.


If your Ricoh GR1, GR1s, or GR1V shows any of these symptoms:

1.A black spot, big or small, appeared in the camera viewfinder, or even completely black.

2.The wireframe inside the camera viewfinder is no longer visible.

Your beam splitter (optical prism) is likely broken – a common issue in these classic cameras.



Why Does This Happen?

The beam splitter is a delicate optical glass prism that splits light for the viewfinder and focus system. Over time:

1.Glue deteriorates, causing prism separation

2.Impact damage from drops can crack the glass

Without a functioning beam splitter, your GR becomes hard to compose shots accurately.
