Same sentiments..

The leatherette would look nicer on the black body IMO..

I hope the moderators do something about this or the forumers can self constrain themselves to keep accessories at the relevant thread. Afterall, this is about the body and would help future buyers get the resources via different threads than to search all over the place.

Users of Samsung phones in Hardwarezone can do that pretty well over different threads for same gadget depending on topic. I am sure we can do better.

thanks, great info.

by the way, how to order, seems there is no link to order for OMD.
The English page also no links for OMD leatherette.

I am interested too. However not much info available. Guess it's not up for "pre-order" yet.

Way to go! Finally I have an option to hide the ugly grip texture of the black OMD.

 

[sweeper]

any recommendation on camera neck/shoulder straps ?

I am now using something similar to A&A , but I find the strap is kind of getting in the way on the right hand side ...
Artisan&Artist* Straps

looking for something like this, but of better quality ... ( e.g. would not get loose easily )
StrapBuddy.com - Sling Camera Strap Adapter, Sling Camera Strap

so that I can mount my strap facing down on the lug mount ...

I take a lot of portraits with my Nikon D5100 w at least popup flash ( compensation -0.3 to -0.7 ) to brighten up the face and yet feel as though there is no flash...
I tried taking portraits w OMD and bundled flash.. For now, I feel OMD works better w/o the flash... Or it was some configurations that I din do correctly. S=-1 C=-1
Under custom menu F, 3rd option flash exp + exp currently I put on...
Under custom menu G , there's also a Flash sign + WB which I currently put to WBflash

I want to emulate the same effect of D5100 which I was thinking, is my OMD lacking becos I need a FL600R?

Can you remove it again without any sticky trace on the grip? I like to see the skins on the black body.

just collected the free gift MMF3 from Olympus, just curious any warranty for MMF3?
I suspect accessoies has no warranty.

It shouldn't have a warranty because you didn't pay for it.

 

[jamestan75]

It shouldn't have a warranty because you didn't pay for it.

i also think so, never mind, just let in sleep in my dry cabinet.

by the way, i was told to give a email address, not sure for what reason. think it is for marketing purpose.

 

[hyperFocal]

I have no idea. I tend to stay away from those stick-on thingies as they usually become sticky and gross after some time. In any case, some naptha (lighter fluid) should clean up the goop easily.

Yikes! Just realised I'd have to remove the original skin covering to install the leatherette and not simply stick over it.

I'll pass. Can live with the original texture on the Silver body.

Here's the Aki-Asahi installation video for the OM-D E-M5 for those interested:

Haha, no way I'm going to do that! I guess Olympus will come up with easier skins.
