my stealth camera is here!!

[back alley]

thanks to g'man, my little oly 35rc is now my daily carry cam!
(once i actually start going out again)

it is a beauty, covered in real leather and adjusted for a current battery.

i've been getting ready and have an orange filter in place with brand new hoya 43.5 hood screwed in and a nice homemade wrist strap attached to a lug.

a couple of very quick pics, next to my original oly and then standing alone.

my thanks to g'man for the time & work invested.

whadyathink?

Looks like a real cracker and as g'man did the work you can be sure it will shoot like a dream 😉 Look forward to seeing some of the shots you get with it 🙂

DAMN! Another kick-ass G'man special! Enjoy Joe, that is one awesome looking RC, but I don't know how 'stealth' it will be, anything that cool will certainly attract some attention!

Bravo, well done!

OMG that is wonderful! (Well, it's not an OM, and not an OM-G, tee hee, but you know what I mean.)

When I send my RC into gman for CLA and replacement of the filter ring, I'll have to have it stealthinated, too. It's a bit hard to tell from the pictures, but is the black paint pretty shiny? Gman, what kind of paint do you use?

What a beaut.

I see you own a copy of the 'Daybooks'. Great read.

very nice! you need to get a Fisher Price sticker to put on the front.. then nobody will take you seriously if you snap a photo of them

Looks great, Joe! Glad you posted a picture - he packed it up before I had a chance to see it.

it's amazing how nice the leather feels too.

i never really had a strong pull to leather up any pf the p's but now i just might send away for a kit.

the pics do not do the oly justice. i need to spend some time on better ones.
it looks great!!

Hey Joe, is that the Oly 35RC you got from me? If so you can send it back now!
Looks nice! Some red lettering to fill in the letters would look great.

hello Joe

very classy camera , be sure to post some shots with it. It looks really really nice.

 

[JoeFriday]

it's the new Oly 35FP

this is the oly i recently got for 10 bucks canandian from ? chris ?, damn, i can't remember from who!

i asked g'man for all black. normally i would agree about the red but i wanted to see what it would look like all black. i am pleased.
the lettering is actually easy to read still, but only at the right angles.
the paint job is superb, very smooth and again, i love the feel & classy look of the real leather.

and joe...i'm not really sure what to say 😉
