I've seen them go for over $30 on e*ay... its very well made leather with
nylon straps, the very height of Olympus fashion for your BG2, T-45, or MD.
You need one for each... maybe we can ask Morgan to make them in colors...?

OM-1's, -2's, -4's, (no -3's yet) and no OM-oney...
So have I . . .
It's proof of how ignorant some eB*y bidders are (and how wacko eB*y can
be) to prices of items that are available new from reputable retail
dealers. When browsing the evil-Bay, keep in mind some bidders believe it
to be the *only* on-line source.
Regarding the "grip strap" in particular . . . I'm surprised some have not
made their own for the BG-2. It's not that difficult. Some small pieces
of thin leather, or even a small shoulder pad the proper size scavanged
from a briefcase shoulder strap, and a camera strap with the adjustment
clips (cut down with the ends "cauterized" to keep them from fraying.
I made one for a camera bracket handle using a small woven nylon dog collar
and leather shoulder pad scavanged from the shoulder strap on discarded
leather brief case.
