This is a discontinued leather case. It is a genuine leather case with an Arca-Swiss compatible metal base plate. I used it with my α7R3. There is some wear and tear, but I hope those who understand this will consider purchasing it. Below is a quote from the product description on the purchase site: —————————————————— Italian Leather Case for Sony α7RIII/α7III LIM'S Design Italian MINERVA BOX Genuine Leather Half Case for SONY α7RIII/α7III SY-A7R3DBR Color: Brown Made with Italian leather from BADALASSI CARLO.

After milling, the surface is covered with wax, and the more you use it, the more the surface shines, allowing you to feel the wonderfulness unique to leather.
