Zorki-Kiev covering

[john341]

somewhere in the past I came across a fellow in Japan, I think, who sold replacement leatherette coverings for Zorki, Kiev probably Leica usw .. can anyone help me with the contact at all? I have a kiev IIa in need of a revamp and new leather would look the job. Thanks in advance!

The kits must be MUCH easier !

Good luck with it .
