Bought this in Leningrad in the early 60's, as its been a very faithful friend I refurbished it replacing the ugly ribbed plastic with a Griptac skin.😎
The Industar 50 is one of the sharpest lenses I have.!!

Thanks Ethan!

Is it easy to remove the original sandpaper on an MP before putting on the new skin? What is involved in that?

Thanks!

Hard to see but a nice camera leather on this jewel.

Got those outfit before Dave Lackey so I think he copied me or it could have been the other way around.

No longer have this nice camera. I recovered it right after I got it, as the original rubber had stretched. CameraLeather ready kit, Verdi gris kids goat skin.

Kalloflex this time. Had loads of Zeiss bumps and was really tatty cosmetically. Bought sheet composite leather from Morgan, and did it up in an evening.

Hi everyone,

Anyone knows where I can get these 2 colors of leather hides? I wanna DIY for my chrome Leica M. I have asked Morgan Sparks from cameraleather but he doesn't have these colors.
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Aloysius

I've posted this elsewhere before, but this is my M4-P with Deep Jade composite leather from Cameraleather.

awwwthis is very nice.. the red dot was gone. i'm thinking of getting my m4p a new skin soon...

 

[tenderobject]

hey guys! anyone used Levant Black Leather for black M body? looks good but not sure if this is better than the griptac.. kinda confused with cameraleather pricing as well. help!

EDITED: my camera is m4-p.

I really love the feel of the natural grain kid leather from Camera Leather.com. Just lovely. I've only had this recovered Canonet for nine months, so time will tell how it wears.

This is so cool...this makes me really feel like getting a canon P and replace the leather with this skin...

Very bad photo of my MP with new 'Black Beauty' Calfskin from Cameraleather.

I'd also like to say that despite complaints about Morgan's website, My order was completed without a single hitch, despite a mistake made by me in choosing which skin, and arrived within a week, and I am in New Zealand.

 

[mwooten]

both skins from CameraLeather.com

All from Cameraleather
