The official adapter with a true mechanical lock - GA-1 for the GR III, GA-2 for the IIIx, GA-3 for the GR IV. Twice the NiSi's price; the one that never falls off.
Ricoh's own answer to the adapter question, and the one the fit-anxious camp lands on: every GA locks to the body mechanically, and with the GW-4 wide lens mounted on a genuine GA the camera actually detects it and shows WIDE on screen. The honest math: it costs about twice NiSi's part for the same 49mm thread, and the GA-2 for the IIIx comes and goes from Amazon - its button falls back to a search when the listing is out. If you hang real glass off the front of your camera, this is the version nobody reports picking up off the pavement.
