In praise of Aki-Asahi

well I'm as confused as you are wharris.....

Last time I ordered 2 sheets of leatherette from Camera Leathers - 1 turned up, 1 was missing. Sent several emails, heard nothing...

A few weeks ago I was given a Yashica LM in nice condition - except for the leather covering. Having seen some positive comments on another forum I thought I'd give Camera Leathers another go, so ordered a red leatherette covering...

Turned up 10 days later!!

So yes they are still in business - just seems they don't answer emails!

He took good care of my stable.

We should not forget though, that cameraleather.com offers service for more camera types and also much more choice in leathers.

I still want to find someone who will cut me a new leather cover for my RB-67 or my Rolleiflex from the back hide of a gator. THAT would be wicked cool. Gator belly would look too much like python - I want the knobby back for something truly bad-ass.
