Lost my Panasonic Lumix GF1 hot shoe cover

[Glenn Surtees]

DOH! second time out and I've lost it in the snow. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement, please?

I'm not fussed about protecting the hot shoe itself, its the EVF connector I want to shield. Thanks.

Unless it's a special shape for the GF1, there's plenty on ebay. Or your local camera shop? Or Panasonic:

I doubt anyone will do an aftermarket hotshoe cover for the GF-1, looks like a call to Panasonic is on the cards, unfortunately

Spooky!
yesterday I noticed the hotshoe cover was missing on my LX3 - probably the same Panasonic part number...
I wonder if it's the elves again........

Had a quick look on eBay and these look quite good and are only £2.99 inc delivery.

it also covers the EVF port on the GF1 so i would think you would have to buy a genuine one from panasonic

Thanks for the responses, yes, it is a special shape, to cover the EVF socket, so I guess Panasonic will be getting a call. Thanks again.
