I'd love to see some of your Oxford pics! Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ I just finished putting the slides in their pages. I hope to start culling through the 17 rolls and picking out ones to scan this weekend. I still have not put up the prints. If I can scan them this weekend, maybe I can get to work on them next week when I have headed to Baltimore for the week. There will be no PDML meetings this time though, I have much keeping me busy - even in NYC :-( César Panama City, Florida

Gee is nice to be needed ;-) I have used contact cement with no problems - I just make sure that it is applied thin enough. Now, to make Cotty happy But do you really want to just put on the same old leatherette? Give the camera a bit of panache, character if you will, make it say that it is yours. Look at http://cameraleather.com for some possibilities. I have two LX cameras redone in snake skin. I am thinking about doing a third and possibly doing some other K-mount and screwmount cameras. Look at http://groups.msn.com/CesarsPhotography/lxen.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=996 for a peek of the two reskinned among the 'stock' LXen. I also have a page at http://cesar_abdul.home.mindspring.com/LX_skin.html that shows them when I first reskinned them. How time flies, they were reskinned four years ago! Others have reskinned, so I am not alone in this :-) César Panama City, Florida

Cyanoacylates or acetone-based glues are a bit nasty. Acylic-based contact cement is better. Apply a small amount to both surfaces and brush flat. Let it sit until it goes transparent (and tacky). Then glue. It peels off cleanly if any gets where it shouldn't. Derby
