Subject: [OM] Shoe 2 problem
> I bought an OM-1 today with an adapted shoe2. The second pin for use with
> the OM-2 is broken off. The contact from the top of the shoe to the camera
> (where it's broken) seems to be some sort of screw. Is it possible to
> unscrew it and screw an original screw back, thus restoring an useable
shoe2
> again? Is this part still available, or should I look for a junk shoe2?
>
> If anyone's interested, I located an early Zuiko 300/4.5 for about Euro
325.
> It appeared to be in good condition, some scratches on the diaphragm ring,
> I'd say 8 out of 10 being rather critical. It has the metal hood and the
> tripod ring, but no case. I have no connection with the seller, if
> interested contact me. Olaf or Tom?? ;-)
>
> I have a similar 300 myself and recently found a very nice use for it, in
> the Zoo. With a 14mm extension ring you can take nice pictures of birds
and
> other small animals in small cages, without disturbing them. Have fun.
