You can install the skin yourself. But if you are not confident, we provide skin installation service for you with cost.
In this case, all shipping costs are your responsibility. When shipping a camera, you must contact us via email or message before shipping to discuss shipping settings. (Generally, there are cases where we write down the serial number and send it for repair purposes, or send it as a used item at a lower price. Be sure to contact us as each precaution is different.) For any losses that may occur if you do not follow our guide, we will not be liable and may charge you any additional costs.
For some models, you may have to send the camera to us because there are differences between cameras, special issues that are difficult for you to resolve, or we do not have enough data to provide only skins. In this case, you can only purchase our skin service by sending us your camera.

To replace the skin of the M-A two parts need to be disassembled.
1. Upper left rewinder lever (requires a flat head screwdriver)
2. Lens mount right finder frame line conversion lever (requires dedicated tool)
* If it is difficult to disassemble the lever because there is no dedicated tool, it is easier to replace by cutting the thinnest part (the bottom of the lens mount) with a cutter knife and attaching both sides separately.
In this case, the cut part may be visible a little, but if you cut with a sharp blade, it will not be noticeable and it will not be visible when the lens is mounted.
If your lever have screw like photo with 2 holes, you can disassemble with tool that we are selling.
.
Skin replacement order
1. Remove the rewinder lever on the top left and the frame line shift lever on the middle right of the lens mount.
(Refer to the disassembly guide at the top)
2. Cleanly remove the existing vulcanite.
(If there are deep scratches or protruding residue on the surface, it may be revealed after replacing the skin.)
3. Refer to the video and attach the skin to the reference points.
(buttons, strap lugs, lower plate locking protrusions, etc.)
4. Using the enclosed plastic folder, meticulously press the corners and around the protrusions.
(In the case of vegetable leather, pressure may be left behind, so press carefully.)
Below video can help to you.
We will set better video soon.
We produce skins for about 2-4 weeks after ordering,

IMPORTANT NOTICE
1. About Duty & Tax - Especially for US customer
Basically all duties and taxes are imposed by the importing country on the importer, and are the responsibility of the importer, not the producer.
We've recently received a significant number of inquiries from consumers in the United States regarding duties and taxes. This is due to the US government's decision to eliminate the de minimis exemption and establish additional duties. Details are below.
Starting August 29, 2025, the de minimis exemption for all international shipments to the US will be discontinued, and all imports valued at $800 or less will now be subject to duties and taxes. The rates vary by item, and additional duties may apply in addition to the base rate.
While all countries are the same, for US citizens, duties and taxes are imposed by the US government on US citizens, and are imposed on the importer and user, not the producer. Please keep this in mind.
2. Important Policy Changes Regarding Refunds Upon PayPal Payment Cancellations
PayPal charges a 4.4% fee to sellers by default, which is non-refundable in the event of a refund. For example, if a payment of USD 1,000.00 is immediately refunded, the seller will pay a USD 44.00 fee to PayPal for the transaction, even though no actual purchase was made. This fee is non-refundable. This is especially true for simple refunds, as well as frequent changes in transaction amounts due to changes in options or purchases of other products.
