Illitt Vintage collects and restores vintage rangefinder cameras, replacing their original leather trims with beautifully crafted wood veneers. Veneers are made from Mansonia, Mahogany, Walnut and Cherry, each one being uniquely patterned to ensure each camera is equally unique.
The cameras look gorgeous and models restored so far include an Argus C3, Canon Demi EE17, Canonet QL17, Fujica V2, Konica Auto S2, Konica SII, Minolta AL, Minolta Hi-Matic 7, Minolta Hi-Matic 9 and Minoltina AL-S.
Once restored the cameras are used by Illitt Vintage and results are displayed in their online gallery. Cameras are made available for sale too along with some stylish camera straps. Ilott Vintage Store
