I've constantly get the itch to reskin my cameras. Sometimes I hold back, like with my M6, but other times, I just let it all hang out! All skins are from cameraleather.com, except for the EP2

This is a Zorki 6 that I CLA'ed then painted black and reskinned with Griptac

OL17 with Indian Red Leather

EP-2 with JnK Lizard Red

Hasselblad 500 c/m with Grey Griptac

My first reskinning, the Yashicaflex B with Red Leather, god bless Morgan at cameraleather.com for helping me custom fit this one with just reference photos!

I've been wanting to do my X-Pro 1, but I cant decide what I want to do with it! I'm also planning a working all white 500 c/m copy of the Sachs Nasa

This M3 was reskinned in Solms by the home office.

I'm thinking about doing my M6 in something like the Akashi.

Amazing. I'm dying to get some griptac on my M6. Did you have Morgan do it or did you do it yourself?

I reskinned my 35RC last night while waiting for trick or treaters. It's my first attempt at reskinning and I used leather scraps from an upholstry shop. The leather is much thicker than the original, so the edges are kinda rough but it has a great soft feel and looks a lot classier than the original material.

Thanks! That was a rainy day project that turned out well. Its just a shame that the camera is such a piece of crap

I'd love to reskin a few of mine, but I can't bring myself to... The M6 is a bit tired, but I can't think of anything more inventive than black, one Zorki 1 has a beautiful patina, and the other's in such good nick I can't bring myself to destroy it! I may do the FED 2 at some point soon, though...

Anyone done anything with funky paints, like hammertone or crinkle top and bottom plates? (Except the LHSA Leica...) Enero, that's the finest looking Zorki 6 I think I've ever seen!

Shame indeed, but a mighty fine looking piece of crap nonetheless, maybe you can't polish one but you can reskin it and make it glow!
I'd take one myself.

Picked up a beater omG and the leatherette had to go. I've been wanting to try canvas for a while now. I might try waxing it. I dub this the "Canteen Edition".

Sorry about the crooked edges, those strings on the edge peel really easy. It'll probably re-do it one of these days.
