For lovers of customised cameras, I've started a blog which I hope will become a showcase for bespoke Leicas, Nikons, Olympuses (Oympi?) and other marques but I really need your help to make it work.
There are lots of cameras out there sporting new leather instead of crumbling vulcanite, various grips, soft releases, Luigi cases, leather straps of all kinds, etc. I'd like to feature them on my blog but I can only do that if people send in pics of their pride and joy.
Please take a moment to visit http://pimpmycamera.blogspot.com/ and, if you like the idea, feel encouraged to send me pics of your camera. My email address can be found under my profile. The blog is just underway but with the support of those individuals who like to pimp their cameras (you know who you are!) it might grow quite quickly.
I hope I haven't fallen foul of any forum rules with this message but I couldn't figure out how else to ask for your help.
