Hi everyone,
I had a look with some keywords inside the forum and it seems there aren't similar threads..I hope I'm note repeating.
Surfing on internet I found several people who wanted to achieve longer focal lenght with teleconverters, but given the 28mm wide aperture of GR there was always a strong vignette.
After a long-enough search I was able to find something that can be used with (at least for me) pretty decent results, so I thought some of you could be interested. Meanwhile I will share also the outfit I came up with, including tripod and complete case.
I use to keep mounted the Manfrotto mp3 d01, almost invisible (in grey like the GR Limited details)
as Teleconverter I found that the OLYMPUS A-200 has a rear thread of 49mm, so it fits perfectly the GH-3 from Ricoh with no need of other adapters
I also bougth the Ricoh GC-6 but I wanted the upper part of the case, so I had to buy the GX200 case on amazon and use the upper part, it fit nicely in my opinion. Then I bought and hand made black strap from a local
craftsman
the Olympus A-200 + GH-3 can obviously be used with GC-6
a sample shoot as it came from the camera
47mm
Now 47mm + 1.5x Olympus A-200 (you can see some sharpness fall-off in the corner, this is so far the best result I obtained from several teleconverters, and I must say fair enough for me)
btw, I didn't change aperture or shutter, so the light loss is not relevant with this front teleconverter
In the end, I didn't want the Manfrotto mp3 d01 to come out from the case, so I carved a space into the GC-6 lower part, now when closed they are at the same level.
This is my everyday kit, hope it can help if someone has similar ideas.
Cheers

I tryed a 2x made by canon with a 49-58 ring. The quality remains the same but you can see vignetting. I'm going to try the canon 1.4x. Should be similar to the Fuji 1.4x
