Hi everyone! I'm going to be reskinning a Zorki-6 I'm having CLA'd right now and I was wondering if anyone knew of a place I could get a new skin for it. Thus far I know Aki Asahi has a template for the Zorki-4/4K and Skinslove has one for the FED-5/5V/5C, but I don't know of anyone who sells custom leather for the Zorki-6. Any suggestions?

No, I have not seen precuts for the Zorki 6, but the pattern is extremely simple, so why not just buy a piece of leather and cut it yourself?
The back is just a rectangle with its corners rounded. For the front bits, just make a paper pattern and use it to trace and cut the leather. Some contact cement or E6000 and you're there.
You should be able to find an amazing variety of appropriate leather at any Tandy Leather store.
Cheers,
Dez
