Get a grip on your OM

[Frontman]

I've a grip on my OM4Ti but the leather has a tendency to slide off, any ideas of waht I could use to bond it to the plastic?

I found a new Olympus grip still in the plastic, but even the new grips have a tendency for the leather to come loose. I used clear epoxy glue to fix the problem. The epoxy come in a two-part syringe, just squeeze out a small amount, mix thoroughly, and apply carefully. It's messy stuff, but will stick anything which needs sticking.

Thanks, Rick. That looks like just what I'm wanting.

Thanks for that 🙂

Well... a little later than promised (forgot the "honeydew" provision), but here's the CV grip on an OM-1n.

Fits perfectly on my OM-2n. Thanks so much for the tip.

Here's the BIN one I mentioned in a previous post:

I think the grip is a better alternative to a winder but not as classy as Keith's leather.

I have very large hands and the tiny OMs are just so darn small 🙂

Just tried again - mine seems to catch on the right-hand side (viewed from behind camera) and not sit flush, but just "handling" the camera with this on makes me want to attach it properly, my middle finger sits just nicely around the grip - wonder why Olympus never made something like this ?

Well done for spotting the potential in this 🙂

My solution has been to use a Luigi grip case made for an M2 which fits perfectly ... the strap lug holes don't line up unfortunately but I'm not really a strap user so it's no big deal.

I must try my Bessa grip though!

Even though I prefer my Cam's in the Nude
