[OM] Re: Shoe 4 & more trivia...

[Daniel Sepke]

I have only seen one of these elusive caps for the hot shoe hole. It was
attached to a body that I have in my parts collection. It has some of the
white discoloration that is typical of some of the plastics that Oly used.
It is rather un-impressive though, others have compared it to the cap out of
the end of a BIC biro which is about right. As fair as I know it is no
longer available.

There is a small "plug" which screws into the hot shoe attachment point &
covers the holes. One was included with my OM1n when I bought it new in
1979. But - don't recall seeing another one - no idea if it's possible to
get them these days.

A related question - saw an OM1n up for auction today which claimed to have
the original sync socket cover - I had no idea there ever was a sync socket
cover - certainly didn't get one with the new camera mentioned above :-( Did
I get swindled out of one all those years ago?
