@fazz33 Yes, I've seen them. Maybe red lizard....so much to choose from! I have Griptac on my R-D1 (it seems we have similar tastes in cameras) and it's wonderful.
@ethancfbz :) I'm actually in the GTA (brampton) but I am in toronto once in a while, I mean where else am I going to get some street photography done?
@fazz33 which leatherette did you order? I'm keeping my M6 stock right now but I'm thinking of recovering my OM-1 in a red covering of some sort...ideas?
@ethancfbz Camera leather's actually has a red leather for purchase (I feel like I'm a sales person for them now). The genuine leathers are a bit expensive (around 50-90 dollars) So I went for a synthetic Griptec leather. It's apparently very functional, not the prettiest option but cheap and functional.
@ethancfbz for some reason it won't let me post the link, but if you look up camera leathers and look for the OM system link you can see what some of the leather's look like.
@ethancfbz I haven't decided yet. I actually did order new leatherette from camera leathers but I may just keep it un leathered and see if it will tarnish or not. If it does I'll probably apply some brasso and then leatherette.
You gave your camera herpes and cured it all in one video awesome....but seriously you did a great job.

@ethancfbz Ah, RD-1 I use to have one of them. I really miss the winder when I use my M8. It somehow make things feel more natural.

@fazz33 It's a great camera. You're in TO too, yeah? We should meet up for some street shooting and swap cameras for an hour :P
