Originally posted by Xmas I always use a wrist strap, but a big bit of missing covering does not make any more slippery?
Me too, but in the rush to get the shot that time I didn't, and I paid the price.
Perhaps a grippier covering on that camera would have made a difference.
Never owned a camera with missing chunks of covering; I am too poor for Leica vulcanite.
I have had a camera or two whose covering began to peel up at the edges and became worn.
Some people like spiffy looking cameras, some prefer well-worn looking ones.
I side with the former. If you are closer to the latter send me your black bodies
and I'll give them some very professional looking brassing you're bound to love.
