Micro 4/3 Anybody got a spare Olympus M1 hotshoe cover?

[Jock Elliott]

Just read the Olympus encyclical on "Weather resistance," and apparently the M1 isn't fully weather resistant unless the hot shoe cover is in place.

Or perhaps someone can recommend a replacement that actually worked for them . . . there are lots out there . . . is there one that works well?

Cheers, Jock

I'm not sure how these do in weather sealing, but just use rubber bubble level covers. The supplied cover is plastic with no rubber sealing, so I'm not sure if what I use is any better or worse.

Artisan Obscura hot shoe covers have rubber on the bottom and work really well. I’ve had them on my Fuji bodies in heavy rains.

I found one! This am, got "a nudge" to look where I keep my camera stuff and -- lo! -- there was an alternative hotshoe cover. It is not as snug as I would like, but a bit of black masking tape secured it.

Thanks for the responses.

Cheers, Jock
