I just bought this, fits the EP-2 with the 20mm F1.7 lens perfectly without vignetting. have not had a chance to go shoot underwater with it yet though.

it also fits the lumix 14-45 lens, but you wouldn't be able to control its zoom in the case though.

all the controls seem workable apart from the rear control dial.

and here's a pic of my ep2 in the underwater case/pouch.

WAH, SIBE TUAKI!!!! :bsmilie::bsmilie:

so the model u bought is WPH10? thanks for the info :thumbsup:

buttons can be pressed responsively?

 

[ricleo]

yes its the WP-H10. it is certainly big enough for the EP2 with my 20mm panny n 14-45 zoom. not sure if there will be any vignetting if u are using the 17mm pancake since that lens is slightly wider. If using the 17mm, can probably try one of their smaller models with a smaller lens enclosure to avoid vignetting

all the buttons are easy to press, even the top right hand corner scroll dial. Only the round scroll wheel with the 4 buttons will be difficult to rotate as it is difficult to do the circular rotation movement through the pouch

sounds like a good investment

Visiting forums are dangerous. I'm slowly poisoned by the looks of some m4/3 setup and I slowly buy, buy and buy. It does not help in any way to improve my photography skills. :cry:

Jnk skin
Andy camera strap
Gariz soft button

Note for all who wants to stick skin on E-P2:
Once you decide to stick it on, there's no turning back. Paint will peel together with the skin. :bheart:

Poison indeed ...

I have taken off the Aki-Asahi (Olympus) skin out of my black E-PL1 twice, no paint peeling off. But it was just a few months stuck on, and I had to take them out as they wore down quickly from my usage (and I don't have sweaty hands), at the thumb and palm area, and next to the grip. They are like thin rubber.

I now use the JNK skin which is leather, but a case too that I don't have to remove anymore, so nothing to wear out now except the case. I covered the thumb area with 3M carbon skin which doesn't seem to wear out.

Hey, share some images of your camera with all the various "pimping". I would love to see how everyone have done up their PEN/GF. Cheers.

Some paint of E-P2 sticks to the skin right after I paste and take out to readjust. Only a few seconds interval. Probably coating on plastic is more durable than on metal, better if it's resin colour instead of using paint coating. The JnK skin quality looks and feel good, hope it does not disappoint.

Well, sure, but it's not pretty, as all the things I added were for function than for show.

Even the yellow skin is to make it look like some PNS, easier to take pics of people on the streets, psychologically at least :sweat:

The case is for giving more volume to the camera (a bit small for my hands without case), as well as better grip.

Gariz button for softer release, wrist/hand strap for more stability, etc ...

Will take a picture ...

But I am sure it will be "educational" for some.

For soft button, not many choice so gariz take the cake. JnK skin quality is really top notch, compare with other skins, theirs have the good quality look from websites, though it may not be accurate. Luckily it did not prove me wrong else $50+ down the drain. :bsmilie: Even their packaging is excellent.

I'm surprised Koreans are better than Jap in this area, leather case from Gariz is the only one that makes me drool, the best design IMO, in terms of ergonomics after putting on the case. Though again, just based on looks, no hands-on experience.

 

[jungle_sg]

any cheaper option available in spore besides the one from Olympus for the half leather case? thinking of getting one for my E-PL1
