Replacement hotshoe cover for GF1?

I think you can oder them straight from your local panasonic rep. They will gladly sell you a few, and if I remember correctly they won't even cost that much.

 

I got a couple from my local Panasonic shop, he had to order them and two cost £12!!

 

Damn… I heard someone on DPreview got them for few pounds each…

Can be just my memory, or your retailer  

 

Try eBay.

Personally, I wouldn't think it is an essential piece of kit. I have my hotshoe cover in a small zip lock bag with rest of the collection of small and useless camera bits.

 

How about B&H?

 

Generic covers will do the job. I've even heard of a slice of old credit card works - now that's a serious treatment for GAS.

I think these should work.

 

The hotshoe doesn't really need to be covered but the LVF connection probably should be. I use a small piece of black gaffer tape. Works a treat and the real gaffer tape, available in most high end photo shops doesn't leave any sticky mess either.

Cheers
