I just went for the bar of epoxy. The first prototype is build up around an
existing grip 1. It feels very nice, specially in vertical position, when
the camera now hangs nicely from my fingers. Also spot metering is easier
then with a winder or motor drive.
Would there be a ready source for the Grip 1 screws, as like it looks now,
I'ld like to equip all my OM3 and 4 bodies with a custom grip.
Next project is how to realize this (and a space for two SR44's as spares
integrated in the grip...)
The force on the screw is considerable, but no problem with a 35-80f2.8 or
100f2 attached!
All in all a nice evening of bricolage!
