Olympus E-M1 and E-M1ii battery compartment lid levers tend to crumble to dust. The lids aren’t available as a spare part, so I designed a replacement part for the lever as 3D print.
For details, see my spare part page.
I got an Olympus Varimagni angle finder (the old OM system one, from the 70ies) to take measurements. I designed an adapter to mount it on the E-M1 family cameras.
Here you see the Olympus Varimagni (left) and the Olympus VA-1 (right), both with E-M1 family adapters.
More about the adapters on my Angle Finder page.
It’s hard to find an Olympus VA-1 angle finder. Therefore, I did some research to find an alternative. The Seagull universal angle finder hits the bill. It is available, reasonable priced and it got a mount for adaptors. In addition to the large number of adapters that are already shipped with the angle finder, I developped three more.
One for the OM-D E-M1 and E-M1 II, another one for the three cameras OM-D E-M5 II, E-M10 II and E-M10 III and a third one for the PEN-F.
Olympus presented the new µFT camera flagship as a prototype. Technical details are very promising. First reviewers pointed out, that the missing accessory port doesn’t allow to use teh electronic swivel viewfinders.
There is a solution to this problem. The receptacle for teh eyepiece is very similar to the one of the predecessor. That means, that my angle finder adapter I built for the E-M1 will also fit the E-M1 II. Therefore, the optical viewfinder VA-1 can ve used with the coming camera!
