New skin for an M3

[cosmonaut]

Any suggestions on where to send an M3 for a new cover and what is the cost?

Agreed with www.cameraleather.com . I got the Levant leather for my M3, it has a nice look and feel.

Im going to try out www.aki-asahi.com/store soon.

Do the job yourself. It's pretty rewarding and won't separate you from your camera for an indefinite period of time.

BTW, cameraleather.com too!

EDIT: Cost can be as low or high as you want it. I think Morgan's vulcanite replacement goes for about $20 right now, but you can pick a leather cover for about $70. It's your pick. He charges for labor if you want him to do the job for you.

How's this for some inspiration: it's my Black Lizard Skin M3 - some hate it, I love it.

I got the Charcoal GripTac for my black M3 and did it myself. Fitted like a glove and was very easy to do. Just take great care when removing the old vulcanite, I did little chips at a time using a sharp pocket knife. That took me over an hour, sticking the GripTac on was only a five minute job. Then had a two-hour drying pause until the covering stuck onto the body. Really simple.

It's a quick iPhone shot, but this is Aki-Asahi's #4008 covering. Super accurate cut and I'm loving it so far.

I put an Aki-Asahi covering on a IIIc. Perfect fit, quick delivery. I should think the M3 covering will be the same. A-A has rather less variety than Cameraleather, though.

I have this same skin on one of my chrome M3's. It's almost as gorgeous as this combo.
