Brian:

The Camera Grip 1 can be found under the Phototechnical Group in the
E-sif. Here's the URL on one of the mirror sites.

I found both ESif sites, AND I have  one of the large published Sales
Information files, and in none of these can I find an image of the
little hand- grip. I also have the printed lens handbook.

Could somebody please post one? 

To respond to Ralf, I guess it's a case of ( YMMV ) or your mileage may
vary.

In other words, different people, different needs. I've been using
winders I bought cheaply (and last time I tried they still worked) as
good camera handles only, for at least ten years. Works for me.

My hands are large by some standards, and I have long fingers. The naked
OM body is just a bit too small to hold..In fact I am not alone in this;
I have over the years asked a few people why they didn't use OM bodies,
and their answer was that they are too small to hold.

Also, and especially over the last  6 months, my arms are quite thin.
There's not too much mass there to hold a light camera steady or to
provide mass or damping. . 

Quite different from some of my friends who have forearms like prize
Christmas hams.

Perhaps that's one set of reasons I like the E-3. It's heavy (has its
own mass), fits my hand well, and doesn't have much vibration. In
addition it has a good IS system.  I suspect the E-1 has less vibration.
These E- bodies also feel just like my winder-equipped OM bodies, in the
hand.

But I'd like a pic of one of those little grips.
