Default Olympus replacement focussing grip.

The rubber grips on both of my Olympus 50mm lenses have perished and fallen apart.
After a lot of pondering I finally found a replacement.
It comes in the form of a rubber grip made to go on cricket bat handles.
Available in black and all sorts of colours for the more extrovert out there.
I sliced a suitable length from it and then ran double sided sellotape around the lens barrel in the correct place.
After slightly stretching the rubber, it was easily positioned into place.
Cheap and cheerful fix.

Cheers.

This looks great! Hopefully I won't need them any time soon, but I'll try to remember this.

It would be worth giving a link Nat, in case anyone looks at this thread and needs what you got.
