Solution Graphics


Here you can securely purchase most of our products with any credit or debit card. You don't need a PayPal account, and you don't have to set one up.  If you have a PayPal account, you can fund your purchase from any source: credit card, debit card, bank account or PayPal balance.  Order here for delivery in the U.S. or worldwide.


How to use this page The price of your kit is determined by (1) your choice of leather and (2) the style of camera you have. You can choose both in the sections below, but don't specify your exact camera details on this page . . . For example, if you want grey lizard skin on your Nikkormat FTN, buy the grey lizard kit for a "35mm SLR" below, and then tell us what Nikon you have at the final checkout page. For a Rolleiflex, buy a "6X6 TLR' kit. The kit prices are the same for any brand of camera, within each category.



When you get to the final checkout screen, shown at left, you'll see a window, marked here by the red arrow where you can tell us the manufacturer, model, and any other information about your equipment. (The red arrow is only shown here and won't appear on the page.)

If we have questions about your camera we'll send an inquiry to the email address you provided to PayPal. For this reason it's important that your registered Paypal email address is one that you check regularly, and that will accept our message!

If you can't include your camera information at the checkout page, just send us a separate email to 
info@cameraleather.com



Finally, some kits are not sold on this page, because we need to talk with you about your equipment first. There are lots of cameras, like Stereo 35's the Iskra, or "baby" TLR's that don't fit into the main categories. If you have a supported camera but don't see it here, just contact us and we will let you know the exact price . . .and we can email you the proper form to buy securely online.

Section                             35 mm SLR  winders  motors and body accessories

Here you can order coverings for winders, motors, and other supported body accessories. The kit prices for all units is the same for any material.  Some pairings will be obvious....for example if you specify a winder kit for your Minolta X-700, you will be supplied with the Winder D kit by default.  But for a Canon, you will have to let us know at "checkout" if you want the Winder or Motor kit, since both are supported. Also, there is no color choice here, since you will automatically be supplied with a covering that matches the body kit you have already specified.  If you want a winder covering only, just add it to your shopping cart, and then in the space provided at checkout you can tell us what color you prefer, and what type of equipment you have. And of course if you want the winder to be a different color than the body, let us know!

Section     Express Shipping Options   USPS Postage (U.S.) or USPS Air Postage (overseas) is automatically included in your purchase. Select either option below only if you want faster shipping.

Section 9.1
U.S. Destinations
USPS Priority Mail
A $2 standard shipping fee is added to your order at checkout. ($5 if your order exceeds $100) This is for First Class Mail, letter rate, which is considerably faster than Parcel Post. Here you can select USPS Priority Mail, which provides tracking and delivery confirmation, and can be 1-3 days faster in transit, depending on your location. It will expedite transit time, but not production of your made-to-order kit(s). 

USPS Priority Mail (US destinations)
Includes tracking and delivery confirmation
$4.90


Other shipping options >
within the U.S.  

If you prefer other methods of shipping within the U.S., let us know. Among commercial carriers we prefer FedEx, via Ground or Express Service. Domestic Express Mail is also available, which is a good alternative to Priority Mail for those with a Military Mail address.


Section 9.2
Overseas Destinations
USPS Global Express Mail (EMS)
A $2 standard shipping fee is added to your order at checkout. ($5 if your order exceeds $100.) These standard shipping fees are for First Class Air Post, which is reliable and reasonably quick, from 4 to 7 days to Europe and 7 to 14 days to Asia. If you would like express shipping to destinations outside of the US, purchase this option for Global Express Mail. Please note: We no longer offer the $14 Global Priority Mail option, which is no faster than regular $2 Air Mail and cannot be tracked. The only way we can send trackable shipments outside the U.S. is with this $29 Global Express Mail option, which will expedite transit time, but not production of your made-to-order kit(s).  The Air Bill for Global Express Mail must include a Customs Declaration and your telephone number. You will receive an email notice directly from the USPS with your envelope number, which you can track online. For some large overseas orders, we may require Global Express Mail.

USPS Global Express Mail (overseas destinations)
Includes tracking and delivery confirmation 
$29.00


Other shipping options >
overseas  

If you prefer other methods of overseas shipping, let us know. We can ship by FedEx which is the fastest way to get your order.. FedEx may impose a customs fee more often than your Postal Service. There are a couple of Express Services to Canada that are not as costly as the $29 EMS Service. Transit times to the western provinces of Canada can be very long!



Section 10      Leather, leatherette pieces  -   up charge for specific camera / leather combinations

We have a minimum $10 charge for miscellaneous items. Only choose this option if you have already discussed with us a specific piece of material you need, and we have directed you here. The $10 up charge may also apply to certain kits for cameras with lots of leather, like the Exakta, Retina IIa or Bessamatic. Only kits in genuine or exotic leather are subject to the up charge.
