Leather Coming Off The Old Blad

[Knikki]

Hello all.

I have an oldish Hasselblad 500CM and the leather covering is beginning to come off, I guess the glue is starting to give up the ghost.

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that sells a kit, like pre-cut pieces , that I could just remove the old stuff and replace.

Or is it a case of getting something from USA?

Thanks.

Looks like the USA, Cameraleather is still open for business..
Milly's doesn't do Hasselblads, other UK companies just do sheets and 35mm camera kits.

Camera Leather is the place unless you want to cut your own.
Their kits are easy to use and in pre lockdown days used to arrive pretty quickly.

I have exactly the same problem with my 500cm, I just haven't gotten around to ordering yet but it will be cameraleather as said above. I was considering something different from the standard black, too. Maybe brown or red but the traditionalist in me will probably just go for black.

I use Aki Asahi for my replacement leather coverings:
