According to Luton Cameras, its the EP-15. They do them for £9.99 plus £3.50 postage. You've reminded me that I have a couple of them brand new that I got but didn't need to use (and since move to a different camera). If you want them, I can put them on classifieds and let you know

How about the Sirui T-005X. It folds down to 34cms and is 1kg in weight

The Barbican area is interesting but security might kick you out. Otherwise check out Leake Street tunnel behind Waterloo station

If you want sturdier stickers, try having a look at companies that do asset tag labels for computers and equipment. Be warned that some of the labels have really strong adhesive that makes it harder to peel off in case you want to sell on your stuff

I replaced mine straight away a generic one from eBay. I also replaced the lens hood with the JJC LH-J66 which has a much better build quality than the Oly one

If you are looking for portability, you could always get the M.Zuiko 14-42mm EZ lens and add on the auto lens cap. The secondhand prices are reasonable. Then you can get the Olympus 45mm if you want a prime for portraits and take a look at the M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 for a cheap sharp telephoto

The Samyang 7.5mm could be another UWA option if you like the fish eye look or if you can defish. Read up on it before buying just in case it's not for you

Manfrotto says the Pixi can handle up to 1kg. The Pixi Evo can take up to 2.5kg. Bear this in mind if mounting heavier camera/lens combos

I use a cheap "Shoot" branded RM-UC1. It cost around £2 for one from eBay if you import from China

Luton Cameras have a bunch of spares for Olympus cameras: http://www.lutoncameras.co.uk/ Got to "Shop", "accessories" and then "Eye cups & adaptors". Its the EP-10 that you need according to the website. I needed an accessory port cover for an E-PL7 once and managed to find one here.

Another alternative is the Pedco Ultrapod II. Although you can't stand it on narrow surfaces, there is a velcro strap on it so you can attach it to lamp post, railings, etc.

Yes. It doesn't work on Shutter or Aperture priority modes, only manual. Also, when Live Comp is selected, press the menu button to select the exposure time

In theory it should as its is essentially a restyled EPL7 with a firmware update. If you can get to a shop to try one, put it into manual mode and turn the dial to slow down the shutter speed (past 60 seconds) and you can see if the live modes are there... According to the Olympus website, the...
