Ok, it's coming on Wednesday, (EVF Tuesday), and I'm thinking about some basics. Comments, suggestions?
Soft release: I'm thinking of getting a concave soft release, probably a black "Boop" available at PopFlash. Actually, I'm unsure if I wouldn't be better off with the smaller version of the button, but I'd like the largest one if it won't interfere with the on/off switch.
Case/Grip: Not much into cases, was thinking of keeping it in a simple leather pouch, though I was intrigued by the Luigi case concept, which incorporates a real grip--probably unrealistic idea given the battery life issue. (One thing I will miss from my NEX is the grip.) Actually I have a friend who makes items out of leather, so I'm thinking of a custom pouch that will just fit the camera, with a separate compartment on either side of the lens for EVF and batteries.
Definitely going with a wrist strap, such as the Gordy's. But those triangular rings are coming off! Too much rattle. Actually, I'd love to dremel off the left side lug altogether, but guess I wouldn't dare.
I do plan to black out the white lettering, though.
Holding off on the hood. Screw hood won't do. Holding out for an affordable bayonet hood. The CZ 24mm hood might actually work, but could look ridiculous on that camera. I'll try it for grins.
I have ordered the Bip bug soft release, two of them one red and one black.I have the metal lens hood (screw type) paid $5 for it when they first came out,it works perfect and is well made. I would consider a grip, only if it is quality made and matches the camera well .Not sure about a leather case,I ordered a black leather neck strap from Gariz. Then a shutter release cable, I would have liked a infrared shutter release,two battery chargers (universal type) 5 batteries ,ND and Polarizing filters ,back screen protector, and of course the EVF , well I guess thats about it for now.
