Re-covery
I have three Polaroid SX-70 cameras, the original, the Alpha, and Model 2. All are in varying states of distress, but the Alpha, which was the first one I owned, had a leatherette covering which was so dried and crumbly that it caused anything it came into contact with to be stained with a rusty brown filthy dust. I had to carry it in a plastic bag, and as I often go withs several cameras on my shoots, not being able to just sling the long strap over my shoulder was a pain. So this summer I said no more. I took a heavy rasp and sandpaper, and tried to remove as much of the cover as possible, and then commenced with a variety of duct and electrical tapes. The whole thing is eyeballed, and not perfect, but it's so great to be able to pick it up without getting dirty hands. :))
