This may be of interest to someone out there too cheap (like me) to buy a
grip strap for $30 or more to fit my BG2. I just recently saw an Olympus
accessory on eBay that looked like it could work. I got it Buy it Now for
$5 figuring there was little to lose if it didn't fit. With a little
tugging it did fit through the handle tabs just fine thank you, and now I
feel much safer and more confident of my ability to hold the 4T, T20,
Winder 2, BG2, T32, zoom lens combination I use in large rooms or gyms.
Maybe you too can find this strap that fits some other Olympus
equipment. It says Olympus on the sideof the padded area with two snaps,
and has a 1/2" or 12mm wide strap on each end with velcro to attach it back
inside the padded area. I wish I knew what it was really designed for, I
might just buy another one or two.

The grip strap comes with special fittings for attaching to the winder 2.
One end attaches to the strap lug on the camera, the other end to the
winder itself. There are special fittings used at each
attaching point. If I had a scanner I'd scan the instruction sheet.
I really love the way an OM handles with the winder and grip strap, as
long as the lens isn't too big and heavy.
Anything from my 100/2 and smaller feels great, almost a natural extension
of my hand.
