That's fascinating information. Of course, looking at it again it's not real leather! It is some kind of coated fabric. I'm not too concerned about it being perfect again and I must admit that black boot polish at least disguises the worst of the blemishes - at a distance! The trouble is that you feel such an "oldie" with an ancient camera which is tatty, but why buy a new one when it works perfectly well even if it's thirty years old? I shall stick with it until film is no longer available. Then and only then I might go digital !!
