The majority of the Web sites referenced
here are well-known by the old camera amateurs and collectors. These sites
are particularly well done and updated regularly.
I also added some Web sites that I
like because of the collections they present, the subjects they
cover or simply because they are pleasant.
USEFUL SITES FOR COLLECTORS

JJJ
You want to offer a new leather suit to your
prefered camera ? No problem,
Camera Leather is THE solution.
This US site offers pre-cut leather skins for classic and contemporary
cameras. The range of supported cameras is very large as the variety of
proposed leather skins.
However, be careful to no commit
an error of taste when offering a red lezard skin to your old Leica IIIa...
The pre-cut leather skins fit perfectly with the camera bodies,
including all known variants (contact the boss - Morgan Sparks).
This one will always
answer (in english) your questions.
