How to use this page |
The price
of your kit is
determined by (1) your choice of leather and (2) the type of camera
you
have. You can choose both in the sections below. First choose the type
of camera you have using the quick links below, and then choose the
color and type of covering you prefer. Be sure to describe your camera in the white box! If you forget to tell us about your camera, don't worry . . . we will send you a separate inquiry. Shipping is now selected at the "cart", not on this page. Standard shipping is $2-5 for any location worldwide, and express options are available. There are just 3 pricing levels for shipping so be sure to specify one of them: USA, Canada, or all other overseas. |
