All the Autocords are supported except
for one very late version, and I can't find a photo of one to show
you. If you have a camera that doesn't look like anything you see
on this page, hopefully you know what I am talking about!
VH
Black vinyl leatherette, shown at left,
is a great looking inexpensive covering for any Autocord. The
texture is similar to the original (the grain is finer) and at
just $14.50 for the full kit, it will help keep you in Medium Format
for a few years more.
Griptac Charcoal black
leatherette, shown at right, is a bolder covering that's also available
in grey. This material provides an extra measure of grip where you
don't expect to find it on a camera of this type. The feel in the
hands that Griptac provides is just superb . . . it's nice to be able
to handle this type of camera without a strap! The edgy texture
gives this very cool camera just a bit more WOW.
Installation notes:
Applying the new covering is straightforward. Make sure you
remove all traces of old adhesive, or else you may see bumps under the
new covering. For the best application, you should remove the
"cold" flash shoe (4 slotted screws) and the strap lugs (2
screws). The camera shown here has the strap lugs off. You
don't have to take off the cold shoe, as long as you trim that part of
the covering that lies under the shoe.
