This album contains various pictures of modifications made to my E-P2 camera (i.e. pimp my E-P2).
The Flipbac is an LCD protector with a mirror so that you can take pictures, angling the mirror so you can see it from waist level or from the side. I had the Flipbac on the camera for about 3 months until I took it off because it wouldn't work with the Aki-asahi case. I may mount it on top of the case in the future. I wished that at times it was removable, so I may buy a Delkin lcd cover which is removable, and replace the cover with the Flipbac to give me the best of both worlds.
The Aki-asahi case is a hand dyed leather case for the E-P2 that is made in Japan. I selected the dark tan case with the black strap. The big feature that the Aki-asahi case that the other E-P2 leather cases did not have is a cutout for the USB/shutter release/audio-visual output cable. I would have liked a way to attach the camera and case to a tripod quick release. In the future, I may drill a hole, and use a longer screw to attach the camera via the camera's screw thread. It feels really nice in my hands.

I created a hole with an awl and enlarged it with a drill, so I could push a third party tripod bracket screw through the hole, and mount the camera on a tripod while it is in the case. I bought the tripod bracket screw on ebay from the seller memorycardsman. |

I find in practice I do get some mild vignetting at some focal lengths on the E-P2. Hopefully in bright sun, it cut down on the flare. It is a little fiddly to put on or take off, due to the design of the 14-42mm lens. |

This is handy when you need to change the battery or memory when shooting on a tripod or monopod and don't want to unscrew the QR plate from the camera. I bought min Quickonnects a few years ago from Microcenter. It isn't as quick to insert or remove the camera from the quick release base as some other QR adapters I've used. I also wouldn't trust it if I had a heavy lens attached to the E-P2. You will need a coin or flat head screw drive to attach the QR plate. |

So I fashioned a holder to support an old fashioned mechanical shutter release over the normal shutter. |
