Grip Tape for Sticky Cameras

Here's a solution to "sticky" plastic on older cameras I have been meaning to post for awhile. I have used it on a couple of old Voightlander Bessa-L cameras which seem to be prone to this problem and I have also used it on my Sony RX100 VI & my RX1 to create effective grips. I never liked the bulky iPhone grips so used it here too. It is flexible enough and will take a bit of a curve but it doesn't stretch much. There are probably other sources, but I have used these in the past:

Be sure to get the adhesive rubber textured tape and not the non-skid adhesive tape. It's like emory paper and would not be very comfortable.
