Hi Zuiks:

It's Friday afternoon in moscow, and everyone has gone to the Latah
County Fair.  So, it was a good opportunity to install new leather
covers for the OM-2n!

These covers are pretty wonderful!  What you don't realize from the
pictures is the wonderful texture that they have, compared to the stock
factory covers.  Morgan Sparks has also improved the way the covers
attach to the camera body, which makes them (even) easier to install. 
Thanks Morgan!

Like most OMs, the back of mine has "wear" marks on the film reminder
holder.  This is a good opportunity to "touch up" the places on the film
back where paint wear is an issue.  I use a Testors Gloss Paint Marker,
which is an oversized paint pen.  After the paint has had a chance to
set up you can go over it with a small amount of mineral spirits to cut
down on the gloss, and then a small amount of (car) wax, applied with a
Q-Tip.

For those of you that haven't looked, Morgan's site is at:

Since I don't have a scanner (see last post) I can't post a picture of
the OM-2n, but if you go to John Hermanson's web site you can see a
picture of a similar unit:
