Been trying for some weeks now to find a Canon A1 black leather camera case but they appear to be very hard indeed to find. T
ried E-Bay but still no luck.
My own case just disintegrated upon cleaning.
The actual camera body part of the leather/carboard case was mostly made out of cardboard!
I had no idea whatsoever that Canon would do that, why weren't they made out of 100% leather?
Anyone know where I can get a full camera case from?

MIKEL3,
Amazon has a bunch of cases for the AE-1.

Is it mandatory the case has to be leather?

Hi John,
Preferably black leather as was the original full case. I haven't seen any non leather cases as such.

MegaGear used to make the best replacement leather cases for the A1 and AE-1 but they no longer manufacturer them. 🙁 Etsy has half cases but I haven't seen any full cases in a long while.
