What I would really like to see, is someone machining or moulding improved
flash shoes that wouldnt crack and could support a flash unit. Something a
little more meaty so that it would seat more firmly. The real question is,
what is the cost in relation to the price one could sell them for, and how
many would one have to sell to break even?

My original, pre-MD OM-1 came with one. There is a different, larger one
that came on OM-2(n)s with little fingers for the additional contact
holes. I think I didn't get mine because the camera store installed the
hot shoe and threw it away. I suspect that was the fate of many of them.
They are really little, nondescript things and really easy to lose. I do
have one sitting in a black OM-1 to back up my memory that they do really
exist. All we need is somebody with one of the OM-2 models and somebody
who can do plastic molding and we all could have lots of them, like Beljan
and the MD & battery covers.

According to legend the body came with a little plastic cap for the screw
socket... my two bodies that I bought new didn't have it, and I can't
recall ever having seen one. From the look of the socket, it appears that
the tail-end piece from a traditional BIC pen might fit if chopped a bit
creatively...
