in search of light seals

Micro Tools has an assorted kit of 5 sheets in various thicknesses. The kit costs about $20 and has enough material to do quite a few cameras n backs.

Jon has sworn off eBay last I checked - he can be reached at JGood21967@aol.com. As I understand it he is trying to set up his own, free-standing web business.

Just emailed Jon and placed a quick order. Great to deal with and very responsive via email.

Definitely cheaper to do the MicroTools sheets if you repair a lot of cameras, but for one-off repairs, having precut, readymade seals is a great service to pay a couple bucks for. Great to have the options.

Another source for seals is a product called "Foamies" sold in craft & art supply type stores. They make all different styles and colors of foam but their black foam sheets can be used for camera seals. These come in a couple of appropriate thicknesses and both adhesive backed and non-adhesive versions.
