2009 A page has been added
here for the Epson
R-D1. It will answer some questions owners of this camera may have
about recovering.

2009 After years of
requests, we have comissioned a genuine black leather especially for
the camera restorer, Restoration Black.
This
is a finely pebbled, very thin leather that is a perfect
replacement for the orignal leather of this type found on older cameras
of all formats. Of course it's also available in pre-cut kits for any
supported camera. See it here.

Vulcanette C from the material options. If we can get it again, we will
offer it.

2009 We are being asked
every day about potential genuine leather kits for the new Olympus EP-1.
This camera does generate heat in heavy use, according to some EP-1
owners. To the extent that Olympus depends on the thin metal shell to
shed this heat, we may or may not be able to offer a kit . . . or at
least a kit that wraps fully around the camera. (Bare metal, especially
aluminum, is an excellent heat exchanger.) We don't want to sell a kit
that might affect camera function, either in or out of warranty.
Additionally, a matte or "flat" dark leather will absorb a lot of heat
from the sun. There are some other issues with real leather, that are
not an issue with synthetic materials. I am pretty sure we will be able
to offer something.
