Use the ones from Jon Goodman, his seals are great value, will be despatched really quickly and he's also a member on here. I've bought all my seals from him. Drop him an email and he'll respond really quickly JGood21967@aol.com

Jon Goodman is the usual recommendation. He's in the US but very quick with delivery and not expensive.

Too slow again.:confused:
 
:agree: having done many cameras now these sheets of foam are better value than individual kits, you need to add a decent ruler to cut against and my preference is for a scalpel with a 10A blade to do the cutting.

100% agree and the cost is 10% of buying a kit.

Great for those who know what they are doing and that's what I do, but for newbies maybe the kit and instructions would be better.

Well I cannot disagree with you Brian because we all have to start somewhere but I bought a kit of many parts, sheets of foam, cut strips and felt from Mr Goodman many years ago that did a fair few cameras. He included a very handy book and reference to a web site that had instructions for many cameras. I thought that was good value but when I contacted Mr Goodman to buy another parcel of sheets etc he told me he only did individual kits because the foam had become very expensive. We I think that a tenner for one kit to do a Nikon FE is rather expensive when you look at the amount of material involved and since the instructions for many cameras are freely available on the web and packs of sheets are available in this country, for as less than a tenner, I think any one who has a understanding of value for money should at least explore the alternatives to a single kit from the USA.

Just my opinion Brian as a Yorkshireman..;)

A kind member sent me a freebie sheet about 3 years ago and after many cameras am still using it...... and Andrew we think the same for value for money and even my son sent a birthday card to me which had a picture of surgeons and it said "after a 4 hour operation they manage to extract £5 from my wallet" :D

If you've never done one before, get the seals from Jon Goodman. The instructions and seal material are superb.

If you acquire more cameras that need sealing, and felt comfortable doing that first seal, then buy one of the seal pack kits.
