 Ugh.  I really like their stuff.  And so does Cesar, apparently.  Since 
 getting the 645 I thought it would look rather dashing in some new 
 clothes, like the Hassy 501 cameras in the special edition colors that 
 were available a few years ago.  Alas, cameraleather doesn't offer skins 
 for the 645, nor do they offer anything in skittle yellow.  I wonder, 
 if I sent my camera to him.nah.

   
Hey there Scott,

Give me a moment to chat with Derby (he has experience re-skinning a 645 :-)

It is an interesting choice of color, are you trying for some eye candy?
I have two 645n cameras.  Maybe I should consider re-skinning one of them.

Currently with only three re-skinned LXen,

Re: Camera Leather

2007-09-30 Thread Cesar Matamoros II
Hmm, it has been a while since I have visited the site.  I have put much 
on hold while being up north.
I probably should fill in him...

Once I put the cobra on an LX I found that I enjoyed the 'feel' of the 
camera much more.  Especially as I would step in and out of air 
conditioned places.  It never felt that the LX would slip from my hand.

I must comment that I have had all sorts of comments about the cobra 
LX.  I found that females really like the look.  Of course some squirmed 
once they found out the source but even they came around. 
I recall Eleanor (former PDMLer) at our San Antonio PDML get-together 
finally warming to the camera and actually sitting close to it :-)

As to before ordering the cobra skin, I would think it is the exotic 
nature of it.  The 'patina' that happens with the skin gives the camera 
character.
I would send a link to a picture of the current state of my LXen, but 
they are currently up north while I sit here in the south.

 Dare you.

   
Morgan at cameraleather is a friendly guy to deal with. I bought the 
skin for Lexxie there. It feels like an expensively bound book (which 
figures, since it is book leather)
http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc/temp/lx.jpg

But I thought I'd give it a go myself. Found a local shop that repairs 
bags and shoes, and bought some leather from him.
