White Pants On

The white leather half case & strap for my E-P1 finally arrived this morning. The sexy white case was one of the reason why I fell for this cam (yeah … vain!) but I was later told that it ain’t available in Singapore (yet) because it’s rather pricey. There are supposed to be some third party cases to be made available soon but I decided to not leave my poor E-P1 naked for too long. So here it is … the E-P1 with pants on …

The leather strap is soft and comfortable. The only problem I found with this case was at the bottom of it. I somehow forgot to take a photo of it and I’m way to lazy to do so now. Anyway … below the case you will find a pretty ugly print that says ‘MADE IN CHINA’. Damn! Where it’s manufactured doesn’t bother me at all … but it is the size of the text! It’s pretty big and ugly! Maybe tomorrow I’ll take a photo of it and add it here. They could have just printed the damn thing inside the case where it’s less visible. Now my sexy cam has an ugly butt that I’ll try not to look at.

  1. oh man that huge text spoiled the whole thing really.
    Drooling drooling drooling, out of stock in Hong Kong now. I’m happy that there is a Voigtlander VM mount for the micro four thirds, which will allow me to use this PEN with my 35mm/F1.2 Voigtlander lens. The only problem: I haven’t bought PEN and the VM mount yet 🙂

  2. @sumlom : See? It’s always sexier to have clothes on. 😛

    @Patrick : Well … the text is at the bottom so it ain’t that bad actually. It will be a disaster if it’s on any of the sides. The 35mm f1.2 lens … is such a temptation! Awesome lens. Can’t wait to see your photos with it. Quick go grab a PEN now!

  3. Haha…I think you will feel better if it is printed “Made in Japan” It is a nice pants…

  4. @Jer : Sorry to disappoint you but ‘Made in Japan’ doesn’t mean anything to me. Hehehe. I am not one of those who go around bitching ‘Argh! Why is my lens made in China and not Japan?’. Hahaha. Almost all my other cameras are made in China! Hahaha!

  5. Very pretty dress………or pants. I was about to name it snow white princess but she can’t have an ugly butt. 🙁

  6. Ola, went to check out those Lomo cameras yet the shop was closed on Sun…sigh! But shop around other places i found a Sony SX10 camera and consider to buy. Need to seek for ur advice it seems like a good starter for me.

  7. @doublechin : It’s pretty okay as long as you don’t look at the camera butt often like I do. 😀 Anyway … one more thing I realised about this half case is that the screw at the bottom (to lock the case to the tripod mount) doesn’t have a tripod mount at the bottom … which means you can’t mount it on a tripod unless you remove the half case.

  8. I’d try some kind of chemical or solvent on the Made in China label, it might come off. But be very very careful so you don’t damage the finish on the case.

  9. oh man, I’m still waiting for stock to arrive, can’ wait to grab it. I have my voigtlander lens ready for this white guy!

  10. @Lo : Thanks for the tips but there is no way I can rub off the Made In China label because it is not printed. It is actually ‘engraved’ onto the leather. Anyway … nevermind that because I’ve already forgotten that it exists. Hahaha.

    @Patrick : Gosh … there must be a huge demand for the whitie eh? Those guys at the Olympus factories must be working overtime now.

  11. @nong1234 : I bought the case from eBay. I’ve not seen them in the local stores though. You can check out ClubSnap’s buy/sell section … sometimes I do see people selling the case.

  12. hi, ndroo.
    do you know where i can buy only the strap?
    i was searching ebay and the website whole day but i can’t find it!
    i really need to buy that strap..please let me know even the name of the strap..please.
