Ricoh GR-1 V
The Ricoh GR-1 V is a 35mm compact film camera with a fixed wide-angle lens, sitting in the premium point-and-shoot segment that Ricoh's GR series helped define. It was aimed at photographers who wanted pocketable build with manual control beyond a typical consumer compact.
Sales data for the GR-1 V is thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £438 in 2022 is the only data point available, so a meaningful range or median cannot be quoted with confidence. As of 2026, that figure suggests where one clean example sells for at saleroom level, but condition-sensitivity in this model line means today's value can swing materially with cosmetic and electronic state.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Ricoh GR-1 V worth today?
Based on the limited UK auction record available, a Ricoh GR-1 V sold for £438 at hammer in 2022; with only one data point, that price is indicative rather than a firm market value.
How much does a Ricoh GR-1 V sell for at auction?
The only verified UK auction sale on file shows the GR-1 V sells for around £438 hammer, excluding buyer's and seller's commission.
Is the Ricoh GR-1 V a good buy at this price?
For a working premium 35mm compact the price is consistent with the wider GR-series market, but value depends heavily on condition — a faulty LCD or sticky shutter can cut what a buyer should pay substantially.
