B. C. S. Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Pretty! Looks very realistic. Back in about 1972, I covered my 1949 3.5 Rollei in red leather and it looked a lot like this. In 1998, I gave it a complete restoration, and it's now black again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Red can be very effective for some cameras. This one has red goatskin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Uncle had one of those back in the late 50's-early 60's. But, it was black covering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Seaman Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Re-cladding cameras in colored leather, snakeskin etc seems like an American thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Re-cladding cameras in colored leather, snakeskin etc seems like an American thing. Well, in part. I first saw a re-covered Exakta from a European source, then bought an Exakta on which the covering was really beat up,,,, and voila! There were some Warsaw Pact covers that were exotic leathers, originally, but most in the market today are replacements: The original was Art Deco, but with the recover "oh You Kid" Note the Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/2. Developed just before WWII, it became the model for most SLR 'normal' lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
