Neoprene Strap

hm1912 · 08/05/06, 02:58 PM

I few months ago I really wanted to get a neoprene strap for my R9. I ordered one from the Classic Camera the last time I was in London, only to hear back from them a few days later to find out that the strap had been discontinued. I called them the other day and spoke to one of their unfriendlier staff (the consistency in that place for friendliness is unbelievably bad) who told me that they could get some other Leica strap but it costs something like £50, which is more than I can afford (and am willing to pay for some nylon number) for a camera strap. I'm going to Edinburgh for a bit and I was wondering if any of you guys can think of a shop up there that might have such a strap, or something.... Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Dare I suggest Jessops?

I've had a couple of neoprene straps on my SLRs, the one I'm happy with is perfect for what I want, the other was too elastic - especially with a big lens on the camera.

A case of try before you buy, if possible.

I use the Lowepro neoprene strap with my Leica R8 as well as on my Contax NX as well. It is not too elastic and it doesn't hurt my neck for a small guy like me!

I use the Leica Neopren Strap in black and green for my Nikon DSLRs.

Got it from ebay.
