excellent replacement vulcanite

[splitimageview]

Really pleased with this new supplier, it's the closest match I've ever seen to M vulcanite...

no affiliation, the website is http://hugostudio.com/35mm-rangefinder.html (model is "restoration", "recovery")

Thanks for the link

Thanks for the link, it looks good.

But how I hate those anonymous companies without proper address and phone number:/
I would never ever buy anything from them.

I've bought from him about 5 or 6 times in the last 4 months, very responsive.

Great to know ..... thanks

 

[ray*j*gun]

Fantastic link! Now I have an alternative to cameraleather (done with them) and Aki-asahi (excellent but plasticky)

I have a question, is the adhesive on the item when we get it? Does the sample go on easily?

 

[splitimageview]

yes very good; adhesive-backed. This is quality stuff.

I've bought from the usual suspects for several years but the resemblance to original M-style vulcanite is very close, almost indistinguishable IMHO.

I saw this site the other day (I think linked from another topic on here).

I'm getting tempted to do some recovering, because the cameras I've put Aki's skins on have been greatly improved.

I just wish someone would make a skin for the GR, cause I'd love to add one.

Thank you for the link, alternatives are wonderful.

Love the options and the videos (though not watched yet) are a very good step up.

Thanks again.

[splitimageview]

here is a direct comparison

Looks like Aki Asahi 4008

While we're on topic for leather, is the PVC/faux leather/ works and lasting as well (maybe even better?) as real leather these days?

I'm talking on the application of camera body of course.

 

[Timmyjoe]

Thank you. My M3 needs recovering.

I have been very happy with the black Morocco real leather skin from Cameraleather, but not enthused about waiting months to receive it . Does anyone know if they have gotten their act together again on delivery interval?

Cheers,
Dez

I have stopped ordering from Morgan and now go with Hugo.

Morgan is just too flaky and the stuff from Hugo is virtually indistinguishable from original vulcanite.

Funny... tried to access this site from work and it was blocked and classified as "Pornography"! The filter settings must be a touch sensitive... I wonder if all the references to SKIN triggered it 😛

I guess I'll have to wait to go home for the camera porn...
