coverings for classic cameras Your classic might be a $5000 digital rangefinder or a $10 Sears SLR. Whatever you've got, and whether it's used heavily, occasionally, or just for display, we'll help you recover it with something that fits great and looks awesome. You can renew your favorite 35mm SLR with a tough pebbled leatherette, self-adhering and pre-cut to fit exactly, for less than US $20. Covering sets for larger format cameras start at US $26. We also have a range of alternate colors and materials in synthetic or leather. You can choose originality, luxury, utility, or you can go completely nuts. Our covering sets replace all original, removable leatherette on your device, including the small bits. We've made them here in Vermont USA since 2001. You can do it . . . by working patiently and safely, using basic hobby skills. You don't have to be a repair tech to replace the leatherette on most cameras, and you don't need advanced hobby skills to do a good job. A perfect job is divided in 2 parts: thorough camera prep and careful leather application. Recovering to a high standard isn't hard, but it's not totally intuitive, either. So, take time to read the support sections here. You'll find solutions to issues you haven't considered . . . you may end up choosing a different cover, or working with another camera. Or you may decide to keep the original leather you were ready to strip off. You'll exceed your expectations by knowing what your best choice is, and how to do a great job, before starting your project. All our parts have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Return them for any reason for a full refund. |

| Buying from us Ask us to send you an invoice for your exact choice(s). You can pay with any card, PayPal, Venmo, or Apple Pay. Make sure your payment platform has your up-to-date delivery address; we're required to use it. (We can also ship to a known US based camera tech.) Within the US, the least expensive and (mostly) reliable shipping is by USPS Ground Advantage. The rates can change every few weeks. It's $6 to $7 if you're in a metro area, or $8 to $9 if the USPS considers you "rural". FedEx 2-Day delivery anywhere in the lower 48 is $12.80. USPS Priority Mail is recommended for Military Mail addresses. These all provide tracking and delivery confirmation. International shipping To Canada, it's $US 19.40 plus tax (usually) at delivery. To most other countries, USPS First Class Package Service is in the US $20-$25 range, plus (usually) tax at delivery. We don't use third-party shipping products that only include proof-of-shipment without tracking in the destination country, or delivery confirmation. I understand a lot of folks outside the US are frustrated by high shipping costs. It wasn't always like this. Over the last 10 years, our shipping costs have risen about 300% to Canada, and 700% to the EU. The VAT exemptions for inexpensive US to EU/UK goods ended in 2021. It's always been much cheaper to ship into the US than out of it, but since Covid-19 the cost of carriage, VAT and Customs fees can easily exceed the cost of the merchandise. Shipping for small packages has gone way up here too. If you live in a rural town in the US, it's cheaper to send one from Asia, than from your aunt in Pittsburgh. |
