An Iskra with new clothes

[cereus]

The covering of the Iskra and many other russian cameras is in my opinion pretty ugly, so I ordered a new set from cameraleather.com. Here it is: the attractive Iskra!

Very nice looking camera! Have you taken pictures with it? Recently I am seeking one myself, but it seems very diffult to find.

I just ordered some Red Croc for my Moskva5 and am going to paint the metal gold in honor of the former Soviet Union

Nice! What did it have before? That generic ribbed nylon? I hate that stuff!!

You've done well, cereus. A good choice of material. Very nice ~ looks like it's new, sitting on the camera shop counter!

I have not tried it yet. I wanted the camera to look nice first! Yes it had generic ribbed nylon. Not very nice looking. I don't know if cameraleather has it in brown covering though. You can check with their website.

I hate that ribbed nylon cover, and mine came with it already in very poor condition so I replaced mine for some brown leather I got from a jacket store here 🙂

But that black looks cool !

Mine came with the ribbed nylon cover in perfect condition. It´s a same, because I don´t like it , but that(and my clumsiness) stops me from changin it. I decided to buy mine after seeing Todd´s and Taffer´s photos.

I would like to see yours Taffer, it must look 😎
