tripanfal Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I just ordered and received some products last week. I however got a wrong piece (blame is 50-50) and e-mailed him. Morgan replied immediately, apologized, and said he would send the replacement in a week or so. He said he would be out of town for a week. His site is down as of the time of this post. I assume he is unaware, as he is not around. As far as I know they are still in business. The e-mail address if you need it is: info@cameraleather.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemeng Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Same question came up on the MF forum -<p> I did a whois lookup on the "www.cameraleather.com" TLD and... it doesn't appear to be registered anymore. Looks like the owner forgot to renew their domain name registration!<p> It may be worthwhile checking out their cheaper competitors, Aki-Asahi:<p> <a href="http://www.aki-asahi.com/store/about.php">www.aki-asahi.com/store/about.php</a><p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm_sparks Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 "I did a whois lookup on the "www.cameraleather.com" TLD and... it doesn't appear to be registered anymore" Whoa! . . . last time I looked (2 min. ago) it was still registered to . . . ME. (No offense, Andrew :) Since late Saturday, this has been a nightmare for me and all the other clients of Powerful Hosting. It started when a few complex sites crashed on IE7 becasue of some lapsed security certificates. My site limped along fine for awhile on account of my Neanderthal HTML. We are in the midst of prying my domain away from Powerful Hosting, and any suggestions from PNetters for a reliable hoster would be appreciated. In the mean time if you need to reach Cameraleather please contact me at cameraleather@comcast.net And please tell your friends!

nemeng Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Good to hear you are still around Morgan!<p> I wasn't being mischievous about the Whois record. You can check it yourself at:<p> <a href="http://cqcounter.com/whois/">http://cqcounter.com/whois/</a><p> Enter "www.cameraleather.com" as the domain and jump through the hoops... and you'll see there is "No Record" for this domain.<p> <i>> any suggestions from PNetters for a reliable hoster would be appreciated</i><p> I've had my sites with <a href="http://www.bluewho.com">Bluewho.com</a> for a few years now. Not perfect, but affordable - $US 20 per month for Plan 1", which has 2GB of disc space & 30GB of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm_sparks Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Andrew, Thanks for the BlueWho tip. I've had a bunch of suggestions. There are just too many choices, really. You are right, sort of, about the WHOIS lookup. Network Solutions won't respond to the more active WHOIS portals because they are mostly used by bots to harvest data. You can find me at Network Solutions own portal, or from domaintools: http://whois.domaintools.com/cameraleather.com http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp Cheers--Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripanfal Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 "It may be worthwhile checking out their cheaper competitors, Aki-Asahi" I'd rather deal local. Morgan is very helpful and I'd rather help the US economy :) The fact he is HERE on PN is also nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorge Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 FWIW, I got a beautiful leather cover for my M2 from Morgan and cannot be happier with the results. The fit is perfect and the old clicker looks like something out of the a la carte program (dark brown lizzard). The price was also more than reasonable, specially considering that the leather is custom cut to accomodate the several dozens of leica patterns and in any material you choose. How cheaper do you want to go on your camera? Just think the thing will be wearing that suit for a long long time.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm_sparks Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Folks, www.cameraleather.com The cameraleather site is back up for some, but depending on what DNS cache you hit, you may have problems. I apologize for the OT post and the lengthy downtime! Cheers--Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
