Refinishing Leather Case for Contax 11A

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

I have an ever ready case that came new, with My Contax 11A. Had the Camera C.L.A.'d a couple of years ago on L.I. by the Zeiss People and it seems to be in excellent shape: however, the stitching on the front flap, i.e. the hard nose that covers the 1.5 Sonnar is worn away and the strap seems to be suffering from "tempus fugit". Does anyone on the group know of anyone who specializes in repair and refurbishing of leather cases to a high standard? Apologizing for taking up the space, but we brought this Camera on My Honeymoon in Rome, and I'm fond of it and it takes darned good pictures!! Tnx. Pete Harvey

I'd suggest stopping by a high-quality shoe repair shop in your area. They generally have the tools and expertise to make repairs and restorations on most leather items.
