Olympus PEN-F thumb grip fix

Alex ReayMar 31, 20253
I bought my PEN-F used, only a few months ago, in September 2024. Late to the party, but it’s a camera I’ve lusted over since it was released. I’ve been an Olympus user since 2010, starting with the E-420, then the E-M5 I, II and a pair of E-M1 II bodies.  It was just a […]
