This from the cameraleather website --
"Folks, we are struggling under an avalanche of email; more than 1100 messages are in the reply queue after the Thanksgiving Holiday. We are now devoting more time to email than production, a situation that we will have to change, one way or another."
This might explain the lack of response.
He also says he is working on ways to sort out the emails from folks with orders.

2 weeks more, still not getting mine!
And no emails back. No info, nothing in mail.
For next time I better get some good covering leather and send it to aki-asahi for laser cutting.

Well, where's the photos?
I found an Argus 3 not far from the house at an antique shop for like $40 and sure would like to see yours. Might entice me to trade something in exchange for a cool camera like yours.

I ordered covering for a Canon P around 7-10 days ago from Morgan.
Got an email today that it shipped.
I've never had a problem with him returning my emails either.

I ordered on a Thursday, got an email on friday with a question, got the skins the next Tuesday. Can't beat that for service.

The quality of his stuff, great. (my experience)
Going 6 weeks after payment without responding to any of the e-mails sent to him: Not so great. (also my experience)
Aki-Asahi has always been ultra-responsive with either the product or a message and refund if the covering was no available as advertised.

Cobra Skin Rues !
Cobra Skin Rues !
That Cobra skin is so outrageous I'm tempted to find a camera that needs recovering just so i can get some
Does it wear ok? Morgan makes a note that it's not for "a camera that is used heavily."
It certainly looks good an an OM-1

Just a heads up for Cameraleather.com, ordered a "levant black leather" for my om4ti, shipped within a week. Very impressed this is a great product! The fit and feel is superb.

On Nov22, I ordered a kit of Natural Grain Kid leather in black for my M6. And few scratchpad for film and digital M.
I tried to contact them but no emails back. Anyone got same experience and what's the outcome?
M6 has been naked for a month!
I ordered a black snake skin kit for my S2 bay in November and sent at least 3 emails from the time I recieved the comfirmation email that the paypal payment was maid, over the next 3 months.. Heard nothing during that time.. FINALLY heard back from Morgan saying my leather as shipped.. I wasn't sure during that tim between th paypal confirmation and delivery whether I was being screwed or not.. Kind of stressful.
Once I got the leatherette and stripped my S2, the front two sections fit nice and snug, but the back leather was just slightly too small.. Not noticeable excet under close inspection, but, because I know it's too small, it bothers the hell out of me..
As you can see from the photo, the front looks nice, but the back sides, constantly pop out.. I've glued them once, and recently the sides popped out again.. Disappointing..

This happens when you do not clean the 50 year old residue off of the camera before you install the new leather!

I DID strip the residue.. like I said, the leather is slightly to small for the back of the camera..

I bought a few Leica coverings -- popular models like the M2 and IIIc -- and they arrived within twn days to two weeks, excellent quality. But I've been waiting into the sixth week plus for my Linhof Tech 4 covering and he does not answer emails asking for an idea of when?
I suspect he is swamped and can ship stuff he does a head of time, like GripTac for M and LTM bodies. Odd stuff has to wait to be cut. Not happy about the lack of communication but I trust him at the same time.
