I use Pliobond, mostly because it is obtainable in small bottles, but  
any decent contact cement will do for affixing a leatherlike covering  
to a camera. There is a caution when using the very tightly gripping  
Pliobond. On some cameras you have to remove the leather covering for  
access to small screws that hold the camera together. You or the  
repairman may ruin the cover in trying to remove it if your adhesive  
is too tenacious.
