The '''[[Ricoh]] GR1s''' is a high end 35mm compact camera introduced in 1997, noteable for its excellent 28mm lens quality. The GR1s is an evolution of the [[Ricoh GR1|GR1]] released in 1996. It introduced an illuminated LCD display, two additional coatings on the lens elements and the ability to attach Ricoh filters. The GR1s is virtually indentical in all other aspects.
