TomB_tx Posted April 30, 2016 Share #4 Posted April 30, 2016 http://www.aki-asahi.com/store/html/M3_round-ear/pebble/index.php Aki-Asahi has excellent quality, and has selections for all body variations of the M3. That said, a few months ago I ordered a conventional pebble grained synthetic leather kit from Camera Leather for a TLR, and it was delivered within a week, great quality and fit. Most of the issues I hear of from Camera Leather are with more exotic leather types. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Her Berger Posted April 30, 2016 Share #5 Posted April 30, 2016 Never!! Agree. Got to Asahi http://www.aki-asahi.com/store/ perfect lasercut and a smooth contact. Shipment to germany take appr. 3 weeks. And its easy to handle. Look at my M3. (Yes, I love the black strap!) And I bought this tool from my local dentist. It helps by fixing the corners Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest Posted April 30, 2016 Share #6 Posted April 30, 2016 Maybe ask Claus Reinhardt in Hannover, who got my M3 & IIIg up and running (including new leatherettes, which are the best non-Vulcanite Vulcanite I ever saw and touched). I think he only uses aki-asahi. I'm positive, that he mentioned Japan and I remember him saying, that there was a minimal number of leatherettes he had to buy in one shipping. Many people including me, think that there are situations when one considering making a saving with a lesser price, the best saving is not to do it altogether. A friend told me, that he returned a cameraleather set to someone, who sold it 2nd hand on ebay and Paypal helped. I know him as a serious guy, but presently can't ask him more, because he's to AU & NZ with his gf for 3 months and I'm not on fb so don't follow him. Other people here report good experience with cameraleather and I clarify, that I do not have any experience with them whatsoever. Still think, that asking reputable Leica technicians other than in Wetzlar (there is a list as a sticky on the forum) what they use (friendly phone calls rather than mails? because you bring them in nothing) will give you answers from more than anecdotal experiences from camera wners here and there.
