using an old Panasonic GF1 that is still working fine.

My first micro4/3 camera was a blue G1 that I bought in France, because not available yet in my country Belgium ...
When I upgraded to the GH1, I had the G1 modded to Full Spectrum in Germany ...
The modded G1 still performs well, but over the years, the "rubber" skin has become very sticky to the touch ... unpleasant to use ...

This is a recent picture I took with it ...

Stay safe while having fun,
Rafael

Nice image !

The rubber on your camera was sticky to begin with until the manufacturer vulcanized it to make it more durable. With time, and UV light, it returns to it's original sticky state. You can remove the sticky with ammonia (i.e. Windex glass cleaner) or Isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth.

Exactly my experience with a red G1, also modded and sticky.
