While the chart posted on the company\u2019s site has a row for price, it\u2019s still unclear what that\u2019ll be, as it just says it\u2019ll be an \u201copen price.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"alignfull wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"ad-section--sidebar wp-block-gearpatrol-ad-slot\">\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-gearpatrol-article-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is only selling 6000 of the kits, though, so they\u2019re likely to be relatively exclusive. In case you missed when Ricoh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/ricoh-wishes-happy-birthday-to-its-most-famous-model\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced the special edition this summer<\/a>, here\u2019s what it includes, according to the company\u2019s website:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-block-list--unordered\">\n<li>A GR IV with its shutter and rear buttons \u201cfinished in a special color inspired by the plated finish used on the first-generation GR1\u201d\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-block-list--unordered\">\n<li>The camera also has \u201cA special power-off graphic\u201d to commemorate the anniversary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\u201cA ring cap \u2018GN-3 (30th)\u2019 with a diamond-cut design inspired by the design of the GR1 lens area\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A leather finger strap engraved with \u201c30th Anniversary\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A steel-gray metal hot shoe cover with the 30th anniversary logo on the front, and \u201cRicoh GR\u201d on the back<\/li>\n<li>16 pins, 14 of which depict past GR models, one of which is the 30th anniversary logo, and the other a GR logo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latter two pins are exclusive to those who purchase the kit. The rest will be sold individually as accessories, or as a bundle, along with the finger strap and hot shoe cover. (There\u2019s even a version of the latter being made for the GR III series, too.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will you be lining up for the GR IV anniversary kit, or are you more excited about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/ricoh-confirms-hotly-anticipated-x-version-of-the-gr-iv-enthusiast-compact\/\">the GR IVx variant<\/a> also due out later this year?
