A remarkable co-incidence, but Sue and I have also our 39th Anniversary on 4th October.
I believe it's Lace?

As these fit into a hotshoe, one point that's often missed is that they would be equally usable with any classic camera that needed a really good viewfinder. They are little gems, absolutely as fine optically as the best optical viewfinders.
This one is Mint and boxed and has hardly been used as personally I prefer to use the back screen on my GR, or a DSLR pentaprism finder.
I am looking for a modest £50 including UK Special delivery. Payment by cash, PayPal or UK cheque please. Local delivery or collection is possible also.
Any questions, please ask!

The GW-3 0.75x Wide Conversion Lens turns the 28mm-equivalent lens of the GR into a 21mm-equivalent. It includes a rubber hood.
The GH-3 adapter is required to use the conversion lens, but also enables use of the standard hood, a hard plastic one that is also in the box.
I am looking for £150 for these two items, including Special Delivery within the UK. Payment by cash, PayPal or UK cheque please. Local delivery or collection is also possible.
Any questions, please ask!

It's not a matter of brand loyalty, it's what we can experience by using the cameras. Needless to say the requirements of the OP don't include diving, so that's a different issue.
For the purpose indicated, I don't think the GPS model is needed unless you particularly want that feature. Also, the WG-3 as an outgoing model can be obtained at perhaps much lower cost than the current WG-4 range.
If you do buy one, I can thoroughly recommend the neoprene case to go with it, perfect for the job and it doesn't make the camera significantly bigger.
