Mr Aki-Asahi came back to me, he has an OM4 now so will be producing a kit for that in the next few weeks. Yay!

Nice, the OM4 and OM4T only comprises of 4 pieces of leatherette, the two back pieces are squared off, and the front pieces of a gentle curve for the lens mount. The most complicated part would be to cutout/drill the two holes for the self timer/silencer, and grip attachment screw hole. It looks like you can just put the pieces right over without the removal of any parts. I will know soon enough. Just got some brown lizard skin and sharkskin inbound as well.

Funny I've been electrical taping the words on my cameras to conceal them. Your looks really nice indeed.

Yeah I have a black OM4 and a chrome OM2N so I think red for the OM4 and white for the OM2N, I don't know if he combines postage, the wording on his site is a little unclear. But anyway I am sending the OM4 to Camtech for overhaul as soon as the kit arrives from Aki Asahi so he can fit it while he is doing the overhaul
