The links to his web page were: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/5799/shintaro.htm http://www.komvux.skola.mark.se/shintaro.htm However, the links are currently inaccessible. So, here is a small extract from his old web page which you might find useful. Not sure if the email is still valid. "Here is a list of the camera types I will paint: All M-series bodies except M6 and M4-P later model. M6 top cover would melt when I remove the chrome) Screw mount Leicas, from IIIc to IIIg. Nikon S. The painting cost for the above cameras is US$ 500 per camera body. Available colors are black, gray, blue, gray, olive green or hummertone. Canon screw mount bodies up to 6L. Prices include shipping and insurance from Tokyo to you. I will need 4 weeks to complete the paint job. You may contact me at this e-mail address: mp-3.shintaro@nifty.ne.jp" cheers - Nikolas > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Logan > Reinwood > Sent: 18 October 2001 13:50 > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: [Leica] Ref to paint M cameras > > > Hi, > > I remember having seen that a Japanese Photographer > paints cameras M2-M3-M4 in black, oliv,etc... but I am unable to > find a working pointer to his page. > > Could somebody forward me the ref to the page or e-mail. > > What is the quality of his work in term of details and longevity? > > Thanks, > > logan - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
