The Ricoh GR IV Monochrome now has a price and is already up for preorder. The dedicated black-and-white camera, based on the standard GR IV with a fixed 28mmm-equivalent lens, will cost $2,199.95 — a $700 premium over the GR IV. Ricoh first announced the GR IV Monochrome was being made back in October, and it was due for launch in the spring. But it’s apparently coming in mid-February, with retailers like B&H Photo already taking orders.
The GR IV Monochrome is a rare breed, offering a compact camera with a large APS-C sensor that lacks a color filter — only capturing black and white. This should afford the camera slightly increased sharpness and higher ISO levels, now ranging from ISO 160 to a wildly high 409,600.
