I ordered the Oly set today.. Looking at the pictures the 20mm should fit.. Let's hope so....

Do you mean the full case which is all one piece? Over here in the USA, that's all they offer which is quite annoying...

Chow Monkey · #33 February 1st, 2010, 04:06 PM

No the half case

Brian Mosley · #34 February 1st, 2010, 04:12 PM

Hi Chow, I have that case - the screw used to fix the case makes it impossible to stand flat as shown in your illustration... but it will fit the camera with 20mm f1.7 fitted.

The soft leather strap is brilliant though.

Cheers

Brian

Ok perfect. No need to stand flat. As long as it fits.. Thnx for your response..

BBW · #36 February 1st, 2010, 05:12 PM

Not to continue to

but I don't think they sell that over here in the states. Guess, I'll keep mine "naked" for now.

That's odd. I thought this was sold globally.. Now you're stuck with non fitting ebay leather

BBW · #38 February 1st, 2010, 05:35 PM

No, no - I shall return to sender!

As for that one you're getting I don't believe I've seen it for sale over here yet.

Was just kidding you.. You might check with the bigger US stores. Although I just checked the US Olympus website and they only mention the strap. Not the case.. Seems rather odd to me to be honest..
The partnumbers for the brown stuff is:
CS-10B for the case
CSS-S109 LL for the strap

I figured you were kidding. Yes, it is odd isn't it about it not being listed on the US Olympus site.

Chow Monkey · #41 February 1st, 2010, 06:12 PM

Might email Olympus US about this.. I mentioned the part numbers. They should be able to give some explanation..

BBW · #42 February 1st, 2010, 06:36 PM

I find it interesting that this company that makes the beautiful handmade cases is also selling those same Olympus products you are getting Chow Monkey: http://www.japanexposures.com/shop/p...roducts_id=315 They're acting as the middle man.

Chow Monkey · #43 February 1st, 2010, 06:44 PM

That's even more odd...

BBW · #44 February 1st, 2010, 06:46 PM

I know! I was wondering how their prices compared. Also it seems to me that there are little metal feet on the bottom of the body case, so perhaps it will be able to rest on them and the screw mount won't get in the way.

I think it's rather expensive for a fashion item. The case is around 60 euro as is the strap. So 120 euro total for the set.
Imagine the leather E-P1 bag I bought was only 35 euro. So these prices are just made up by someone in the Olympus office..
