light meter

Hello everyone! Anyone own a Minolta SRT-101? Has anyone ever replaced the leather covering the camera? I have really been wanting to recover the camera, although, the leather seems to be really hard. Is the "leather" around the camera actually leather? or is it some sort of imitation plastic...
