Kodak Retina IIIc

:iconfallisphoto:

Yesterday another ebay purchase arrived in the mail: a Kodak Retina IIIc. It seems to work fine, but the leather is bumped like a frog from all the verdegris built up under it and it is split in one place (I can't even imagine how that happened). It has a few rough spots that need to be smoothed, and of course it needs to be cleaned and relubed, but the most obvious thing it needs is new leather. This is what it looks like now: [link] I figured I'd ask this time and find out what color and type of leather is most popular. Black and dark red are my most requested colors but blue and dark green seem to have their adherents too. What do you think?

I decided to add you as you seem like a lovely person ^^
Also, I wrote about a couple of DSLR's in my journal.
Do you think you could give your opinion on them?

hey, read the mini story you posted up in that picture of yours on your profile page. was just here to say. wow, you've been through a lot. I think that it's great you're still able to stand after the fall that wasnt even really your fault. continue with the struggle and you'll top the comptetition again, effort is something that will never betray you.

Plus I always see you helping out in the photography forum. you helped the last time i asked about lenses. thanks ^^(really need the help since i've never been to a single photography lesson of any sort and have only gotten interested a month plus ago plus I have my major exams this year and cant do much about photography cuz it's all busy lately till this year is over..) and it's really awesome you take the time to actually say those words to help others in need.

Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for all the information you posted about medium format cameras on my thread. I havent been on the net much lately and didnt want to bump the thread.
It was all very useful and I get the feeling I'll save up and get an old Hasselblad or Rollei. It'll take me a while to get the funds but I think it'll be worth it. :)
