My father-in-law recently brought me his Contessa so I could get it fixed my the local camera repairman. He's had it for many, many years and it needs a good CLA as well as some lens work. In addition to that, the leather (or leatherette, vulcanite, or whatever) is worn out. Since is birthday is coming up in August, I'd like to get a new leather kit and replace the old stuff before giving it back to him once it comes back from the shop. Problem is, neither Aki nor Camera Leather offers a kit for this camera (he's got the same one Stephen Gandy has a profile of at CameraQuest).

Anyone know where I might could find a leather kit for this body?
 
Hmm.... That would be a job for my wife. Two reasons why:

1) She's better at that kinda stuff than I am.

2) It's her father's camera.

Wonder if they would do if I sent them the camera?
 
I was going trhough their website and they have done a Kodak Retina IIa
So me guesses they make help you if you send it.

Drop them an email and see what they say...
