LX1 Hack #2 - Tape Grip

Adding small pieces of gaffer tape in these locations greatly improves the hand-holdability of the camera, giving a better purchase to your middle finger.

Part of this rambling LX1 review.

When placing tape, hold the camera, pay close attention to where your fingers rest.

You need to brush up on your Japanese and order the real thing from Yodobashi camera.

Yeah, I've seen those camera-wrap kits there (4th floor, right? Near the Microtools?)... you can buy them from folks here in the states too, as well as off ebay.

Gaffer tape costs about $18 for a 100' roll, and I used about 1/4 of a foot for the whole camera -- about a nickel's worth :)

It is so smart that adding small pieces of gaffer tape on the cam.
I'd like to improve the hand-holdability of my D-Lux 2 also.
gaffer is a smart item.
:]
