Re: Rubber grip falling off!
Just spoken to a nice person in the Czech Republic, who tells me they're awaiting spare parts...
The grip being loose had exposed some inner workings via a joint in the chassis, so maybe some water has got inside ![]() She's getting a full report from the maintenance people in Portugal to find out...

It works well. - Very much better than the stuff Olympus used when I sent my E-M1 back for a warranty repair of one of the strap lugs and mentioned that the rubber grip was also in need of a bit of re-glueing.

Left here by RM Special Delivery Wednesday last week to their place in Nottingham, (£11.50 insured) arrived Portugal for first thing Monday, was originally told it'd be a 5 day turnaround in Portugal, so I was expecting it to be shipped today/Monday... watch this space! Disappointed that I got NO notification at all that they'd received it, nor any answers to the couple of emails I'd sent, so I'd recommend phoning if you need to get in touch! I was beginning to worry that it'd not arrived. (especially as I'd lost the tracking number!)

![]() Really missing it and have found that there's enough difference between the MK1 and MKii that I'm not enjoying using the MKi ![]() ![]()

It's back!
Got a mail yesterday saying the parts had arrived and the repair would be started today.
I will be advised of the tracking number when it is despatched. Doorbell just rang and there's Mr DHL with a parcel! All new grips fitted and they are different to the old ones as there's no longer a slight lip all around them! I guess the old ones were either different or incorrectly fitted! Will take it out later and get familiar with it again - as I've been using the MKi for a few days! EDIT: re-loading all the settings was nice and painless - apart from the C1, C2, C3 where I had to manually set and re-save the shutter and aperture settings I wanted and the time and date needed re-setting. (I wonder why they don't take them off the computer as part of the upload - like they do if you use the iPhone app?)
