ECG_2

On top you see the first image of the new ECG-2 grip attached on the new Olympus E-M5II. It certainly looks like a very well done package. The E-M5II and the new accessories and lenses will be announced during the first week of February.

One weird note: The image has been leaked on an Asian forum and there is again a strange anti Olympus message that says “Olympus has betrayed us“. Really weird story those kind of leaks with stupid messages on it.
