I've just gotten a DE-1 finder for the F2, and the Leatherette has seen better days. Can anyone recommend a replacement? Where can I find it? I've looked around and haven't found anything similar when I googled it. I've heard so-so things about cameraleather.com, and I'm not certain if he sells it for the prism itself.
Thanks,
Eric

Send Aki Asahi an email, they can propose pattern (they have Nikon S and S2 coverings), he might send you a small sheet and you have to cut it yourself (not difficult).

He's shipping me a piece for the viewfinder, with payment due the next time I purchase something for a full camera. Awesome guy, Thanks Ferider!

A quick tip for cutting it: remove your old leatherette, and cover the blank space with masking tape leaving a generous overlap between strips. Trim the tape with an X-Acto knife along the edges, using the metal trim as a guide. Then peel off the tape and stick it onto the leatherette to use as a cutting template.
