Leather coverings for RF

To whom it may concern.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15234&item=3846529349&rd=1 for leather for RF cameras. Check his other items for more. Zorkis, Leicas and some others.

I have never used this seller, but his feedback seems alright. I just always worry about anything other than US, Canada, and Australia.

If anyone has used this seller, or does so in the near future, be sure to let us know how it goes. I have asked if he will take international USPMOs.

Gracias Sr. Guapo. Perhaps others know of good sources of leather kits.

Last year I bought two rolls of Tandy Morocco leather for camera coverings. One in black and the other in burgundy. Morocco is the thinnest I could find. Each roll was about 3/4's of a square yard. I think I paid a little for $24 total for them.

I either use the old skin for a pattern or make a new one from index card (60 lb) paper stock. I'm about half-way through covering a Zorki-4 and I've made small repair pieces for a half dozen other cameras.

Works very well.

Hi,
I recently bought a couple of Kiev-leather-kits from Aki-Asahi - shipping to Austria was VERY fast (less than a week from my PaPal payment to receiving the items). The leather looks nice, and there are instructions included, but I did not get around to dressing up any of my Kievs yet...

Bump for this thread - I suddenly remembered Micro Tools. Hmm, shouldn't have left them out.

Check out their catalog - full of good stuff! Not just leather - all kinds of tools for kids like us.
