2015 I

ONLY on EBAY USA, UK, Germany.

June 2020 the kits shown below can only be ordered directly from me

I am
not a DEALER and do not offer industrial pre-produced goods, which can
be delivered at once.
EACH of my kits
will be HANDMADE OF MY OWN MATERIALS FOR THE CUSTOMER'S SPECIAL TYPE OF
CAMERA
(In the sense of a CONTRACT
FOR LABOUR AND MATERIALS =
German Werklieferungsvertrag).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each
of my kits will be precisely cut to fit your type of SLR camera.
A good job is
guaranteed, if you follow my installation manual and tips for cleaning
mirror and focusing screen
(10 pages by
email).
The strips are
fixed on a folded card with a sketch, that shows the right position of
each strip.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One
additional strip for each of the different positions
gives
you nearly 2 kits in
one
and enables you to seal
3 cameras with only
2 kits.
To meet the requirements
of their different positions and for optimal function in different
types
of cameras
these strips,
frames and dampers are 1,0 - 1,9mm wide and 0,90 - 4,5 mm thick
and either made
of different types of NEOPRENE
rubber
or of the very special black
hitech-foam from Japan.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pay
attention to the different "qualities" of camera-foam !
Top:
HighTech-Foam (in my kits), DEEP BLACK,
extremely dense (>100 pores per inch), light-tight, highly
elastic,
the
only material
used by all camera-manufacturers, production only in Japan.
Mid:
Simple standard-foam, dark GREY,
medium density and pore size, disproportionate elasticity
(too
firm at low pressure
and then suddenly "breaks down" when pressure increases),
unusable
for mirror dampers,
not light-tight.
Bottom:
Miserable scabby material, doesn't deserve being called foam, extremely
poor density,
coarse
pores, many holes
(due to wide or exploded pores), bad elasticity (same as simple
standard-foam),
extremely
translucent.
Not
imaginable for what to use!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some
"experts" offer plates
of foam material "in bundles" for a very attractively looking price.
What
do you think why they
can do that?
No,
not only because they
offer raw material
and
leave the very difficult
and time wasting job (of precise cutting to measure)
to
their customers.
It's
also because they
have got 2m² of their grey or (at the
optimum) dark grey
foam
for
the price of one of
their bundle of 4x15cm "plates".
Why
that? Do they have
such splendid connections to the manufacturers?
No,
that's the normal price
for foam of the lowest quality (nevertheless do these people claim
their
material to be the
japanese hitech-foam!)
But
it is quite easy for
everyone to make the right choice:
Only
accept foam that is
dense but soft and deep black !
As
your camera shows, even
this one and only japanese camera foam
has
become greasy after
15 years.
All
the low-quality grey
foams will not only do a bad job (see text above) from the beginning,
but
will also have a very
short live of 2 or 3 years.
I
have tested them all
(but
of course not in the
kits I sent to my customers).
