Zhou OM half case?

[ChrisP]

Anyone using the Zhou half case for an Olympus OM camera? Hows it working out for you? Do you like it? Any opinions would be great (and maybe some camera porn while you're at it).

Thanks,
Chris

I use the Zhou cases on my Leicas but find that protecting an OM to be overkill. For example I paid $7 for an OM and $45 for a CLA. Why a case?

Looks nice... I paid $2 for an ok shape old Olympus one.

Well never store the camera in the top half! The base is all you really need most of the time unless you are going to have multiple cameras in one case.

you can reuse the case.

I have the olympus case and I too only use the base. I quite like it, actually. I wish it came up as high as the Zhou case though.

The Zhou is also nice because it fits better over the strap rings.
