Love NX 2021 Movement - Part 1 - Samsung NX20
May 14, 2021

Good day brothers and sisters,
It's been a long time since I posted here. I would like to re-introduce myself. I'm alfe, my dad was a top professional photographer in his time, my calling is music ( I am a musician and drumming teacher) so while myself I am a hobby photographer, I've always used photography as a common topic to engage him.
I fell in love with Samsung NX when the NX10 came out. As a true blue fan, I have NX10, NX20, NX30, 3 x NX500 (yes i made sure I stashed them!) missed out on NX1 due to cost and availability, and ...... YES! I scored a NX Mini :)))
These threads are my humble contribution to this forum. I hope we can encourage each other, show as much love as we can , to the things that we hold dear.
After Covid, I realised I should have been more public in my affection for these cameras. I plan to keep them charged, and to take them out daily as much as possible. Just shooting non-descript stuff. Before Covid, I had been working far too much, and neglected them, only taking them out once in a blue moon for some much needed photography therapy.
My first post here then, is how I restored my NX20, for its leather had become v sticky and gross.
Today, I share photos of how I stripped it away. I thought I could just peel it off and use it as a base to cut a new leather strip, (I ordered it from eBay)
But it was so rotten by now !




I used about 20+ alcohol wipes to get rid of every sticky black stuff. it was ... gross
If you guys have any questions just fire away, I am quite bad at workmanship but I will do my best to share everything I know.
Have a great day ahead folks !!
