Very nice! Did those come from cameraleather.com? Indeed they did. It was as easy as letting them know which holes I needed cut. Andrew, the kit came in 2 days in a manila envelope. Perhaps international shipping is a problem with customs and all? |

yeah Alex who knows! lately on the net i have heard some people receiving promptly and others complaining of slow or non delivery. apparently this is a second job for the fellow that does it and i am under the impression that on occassion he is out of town and perhaps that is understandably why s few people have had problems. anyway they look great and worked good for you....there are one or two leathers he has that i would like but he doesn't sell the particular ones i want in sheets only in pre-cut...ah well :-)

IMO though, the pre-cuts are the way to go. Their accuracy is spot-on!  |

The gentleman's name is Morgan Sparks, and I've bought 14 camera covers from him over the years. He's always been fast and courtious with me.

What a pair, sorry couldn't resist. Very nice job on the TLRs. Just one question thogh, are the pieces self adhesive?

Ok, just went to the site and got my answer.

Fine looking cameras! That's some really impressive work Alex. You must have the patience of a saint.

Thanks guys! Indeed, patience is 50% of the work. Getting the old crappy leatherette off is harder than putting the new on.  |
