Replacement self adhesive foam for light seals

[gorbas]

Looking for recommendation where to buy set of light seals for Canon A series cameras in N. America or Japan. Who is your favorite supplier?
Thank you in advance!

Jon Goodman of Dallas, Texas (I think).

Great kits at reasonable prices and have good instruction sheets.

And Jon is great to deal with. And he uses USPS, so shipping is simple and cheap.

I was very happy with the replacement light seal kit for my Nikon F2 from uscamera.com

I've used Aki-asahi.com a few times for my Olympus cameras, excellent quality and great fit.

I have resealed many cameras and I cut my own from sheets.

John Goodman is very good to deal with and I've used a few of his kits in the past. But sometimes when you need a light seal kit you need it right now, so a few years ago I started cutting my own seals from sheets. You can usually get an assorted pack of sheets from eBay that have foam and neoprene in various thicknesses, and companies like Polar Bear Camera (https://polarbearcamera.com/) sell a big variety in larger sheets. You'll need a cutting matt, steel rule, and a scalpel to accurately cut your own strips, but given the amount of material you have in front of you one slip up won't stop the job.

Thank you Guys for great advice!

Also note that self-adhesive is a convenience and not a requirement. It’s actually easier to test fit non-adhesive foam and use a tiny amount of white glue when ready to affix.

When applying the adhesive seal, make the sticky layer wet with a Qtip and alcohol. That gives you a few seconds to move the seal around before it sticks permanently. Makes life so much easier!

Thanks for the tip
