[rollei_list] Two Toned MX EVS.

OK. So I got my custom leather kit from Morgan at CameraLeather.com to replace the peeling leather on my MXEVS. I thought, why do the whole thing...why not come up with something unique, so I went with granite (gray) leather on the front top and back and left the sides (which are in fine condition) and the center portion of the finder in black.
Morgan tells me this is the first two tone Rollei that they've cut. (They've done other two tone cameras, just never a Rolleiflex.) I still need to clean up the old yellowed adhesive from where it has bleed out on to the chrome in the back, but the leather fits well and was much easier to put on a Rolleiflex than I imagine that it is a Leica with a Self Timer and stuff..

Now it just needs a good cleaning and the spongy focus rails re-lubed or adjusted. (Exposures are fine even on chromes, but it should probably have the shutter overhauled too, while it is going in for work anyhow.) 

Be well,
