Thats an interesting thought, Simon.
I have tried to look up the winding key on other Bolex cameras, but I have not still managed to find one except mine. Do you know what makes it so attractive to collectors, is it an original bolex key, if I may ask?
About the leatherette I have no clue. This is my first bolex and my experience shooting 16 is lacking - Have shot three rolls with it, so hopefully some tape would solve my problem even though its not a mint condition camera.
Thanks!
