Zorki-Kiev covering
somewhere in the past I came across a fellow in Japan, I think, who sold replacement leatherette coverings for Zorki, Kiev probably Leica usw .. can anyone help me with the contact at all? I have a kiev IIa in need of a revamp and new leather would look the job. Thanks in advance!

I have done a Kiev in bookbinding leather , using the original as pattern .
The kits must be MUCH easier !

Good luck with it .
