Bob,
Try Jon Goodman. He sells pre-cut light seal kits for a number of different cameras. I've heard excellent reports of them though I haven't actually used them. He may also sell the foam and be able to advise you.
I don't know if he has a website, but I think his e-mail address is jon goodman@yahoo.com (or it might be jongoodman ... all one word). Use the words Light Seals as the subject matter. I believe he also sells on e-bay under the name 'interslice'.

Peter / Bob: Jon does sell on the internet under "interslice" ... I have a reference to him on one of my "how to" pages: www.mamiya35collectors.com/seals.htmHis email address is JGood21967@aol.com You can also get some pretty good material online from Micro-Tools at www.micro-tools.com/Merchant2/restore.htmI ususally buy what they call the LB-Strip-1 to replace the seals in my Mamiya DTL's or SX's...it's self adhesive and comes in a package of 10 that are 1.75x250mm

Jon Goodman provides a fantastic kit for light seals. There's enough stuff in the $9.00 kit for about 10 cameras. It is the best deal out there. He is very helpful and approachable and in MHO he is one of the stalwarts of the whole camera hobby. I have had several email conversations with him and he is a pleasure to deal with.

I have one of Jon's kits and I highly recommend them for anyone who has some older cameras, no matter what style they are.
