Hmm, I had an OM-2N which was clad in one of these. The leatherette color
was VERY green, and to me it felt very far from real leather. Maybe they
skinned Kermit the Frog, or Godzilla :-) I have long since sold the
camera, but not before taking a few snaps of it. Definitely an acquired
taste, IMHO.
