Phil1066 Posted November 30, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I posted this originally in the Q2 forum, got plenty of views but no actual answers or confirmations.... "Just reading a back copy of LFI magazine, 08.2021, when the Q2 Reporter was featured, and it mentions "Store customers are able to view Kevlar samples of various ages, in order to envision how the material will transform over time." Has anyone got any photos of these samples? Just intrigued 🙂" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 Hi Phil1066, Take a look here Reporter Editions - Aged Kevlar/Aramid Fibre samples at L-Stores?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Gelatino Posted November 30, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 30, 2022 If I had a Reporter, I would try to clean the "Kevlaramid"😛 to keep it black; I don't know if bleaching is caused to natural aging of the fibers or the skin cells and sweat of holder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatino Posted November 30, 2022 Share #3 Posted November 30, 2022 I suppose exposition to the sun is the main cause of bleaching? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1066 Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted December 7, 2022 Obviously Leica did not display the various stages of ages in stores, or pulled it out very quickly, which is a shame. I would have like to have seen it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
