Nice Porsche shots! What lens?
fyi Hugo Studios leather is nicer than Aki Asahi, BUT Aki fits much better.
Thanks! The first I believe was a 28 Elmarit and the rest are 50 Summilux.
Good to know! I have the Aki standard black vulcanite-look leather on my M3 but have been tempted to do something a bit more interesting. Love the olive look.

yeah I'm disappointed with the fit. The leather is really nice, and I actually peeled off Aki-Ashahi brown leather that was on it before. It had that fake lizard skin look which to me just, well, looks fake.
But the fit was perfect.
I orginally removed the vulcanite because it was crumbling off in my hands from age. Upside with the new covers is if you don't like them or want a change, it is super easy to do. Unlike the original vulcanite which was not a pleasant experience!

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm unable to develop at home at the moment, so I've been taking rolls to my local lab. I scan on an Epson V550 and process minor adjustments on Lightroom.

Nice! Was the leather precut or did you do it yourself? Looking to do my Bronica, but can't find anyone who has anything precut for the EC-TL models.

precut, and has adhesive on the back. Trick to fit it is to wipe it with Purell so you can move it around before it dries.
Aki-Asahi is also precut.
I have used cameraleather before, one was perfect, the other was not (like the Hugo Studio) but customer service/delays was a serious issue.

Thanks. I checked with them too. Nothing for the Bronica EC's. I have plenty to keep me busy at the moment, but it is definitely on my to do list. I am in the process of replacing all the foam seals now.
I think I saw that Rollei listed in the LA area of CL awhile back and wanted it so bad for at least a couple of months. Now I've come full circle. Thanks!@!

Pretty sure it was my listing! Funny thing back then I never used the lens, and so didn't appreciate it. I'm now loving the results from it and I'm not sure why I never used it! Plus it looks awesome on chrome Leicas!

Small world!
I assume the full viewfinder window about covers 40mm? I never looked through an M3, but that was the approximate case with my old 0.85x M6.
