New skin for my M7

[Beemermark]

I recently replaced my chipped vulcanite with red morocco leatherette from http://www.cameraleather.com/colors/ I went with the cheaper leatherette because I wasn't sure how I would like it or if I was even able to do a good job. Anyway it came out great (easy on but what a mess coming off) and now I want to do my M7. Too many choices but I like the exotic leathers. Help me choose!

Help depends... Is your M7 silver or black? In either case, does Morgan still have gray? I think gray makes silver cameras look distinguished, and black ones seem bold, daring and classy.

There you go! 🙂

i recently ordered the cobalt kid skin for my zi.

My M7 is silver and I'm leaning to either the black or gray lizard.

Go gray... Black to black... Naaah. Don't even consider green; it makes cameras look sick. Gray is the best. 🙂

I'm not that bold to go with cobalt. Morocco for the M4 was an uncharacteristic choice (for me) but I'm glad I picked it, looks so good. I the type of guy who thinks all cameras should be black or chrome and could not conceive of a leatherette color different then black. So this is a big jump for me.

I ordered Granite for my M2.

Agree with you about cobalt. I saw once a photo of an MP in cobalt and it made me cringe.

Grey is the key to get into the zen zone. 🙂

pick any color as long as its black.

Black Griptac for the serious shooter.

I've just ordered slate blue from Cameraleather for my (now nude) M2. I liked the idea of the lighter colours with the chrome, but wanted something a little more than the pale grey Granite leather, lovely though it looks. I didn't want something as strong as the cobalt blue, so the slate blue won the day.

I did seriously consider the walnut brown as that looks lovely too.

I hope the new covering arrives soon as the M2 is shivering in this cool and damp summer here...

Nice!!! Any pictures of the completed upgrade? Would love to see how the final effect looks like.

Cheers,

Second that - my Ms are all covered with Black Griptac, the shooting experience is definitely much better & to me at least they look cool too - kinda "tough & industrial" versus the more "boutique" looking leather-covered, half-cased Ms... 😀

I probably meant "withdraw from the computer screen in horror."

BTW, doesn't that verb exist? Like something disturbs you? Just wondering...

Either of the two griptek colors or the slate blue.
