michael friedberg Posted August 4, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2010 I'm sure that more than one of you eschew the neckstrap supplied by Leica, are there any wrist strap options that you would recommend? I really like my Artist & Artisan wrist strap on my X1, which I got at Popflash Photo. Artisan&Artist* Straps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausalito Posted August 4, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 4, 2010 I like the slender ones that have a cinch on them to tighten it up on your wrist... Canon P&S cameras come with them. I don't have it yet, but there are a few like this you can order from Adorama... from between $4 and $8 you can afford to check out a couple of them. I ordered the black Olympus ones. Also B&H has some that look pretty decent from OpTech for $10 tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted August 4, 2010 Share #4 Posted August 4, 2010 I have the Leica one; same quality as the neck strap but more convenient when using a belt bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanCderidder Posted August 4, 2010 Share #9 Posted August 4, 2010 we're talking about a wrist-wrap here.... A&A are 60$ ... you must be kidding! I have 3 Canon straps, the light silvery grey ones, they fit, the're comfortable and they do the job that they are meant to do really very very well ... surprisingly though I bought them $3,99 each .... Want to live up to the "scene" well my half brother id generally seen as a "shady" sort of character, he'se nice, I like him although he is quite simple, some say that he exploits women ...hmmmm Anyway he uses Leicas and buys the most expensive attributes he can find for them, hand braided wrist-wraps etc. etc. each and everyone at least $100.... he also wears multiple gold rolex's drive porsches, MB 4 wheel drives and has a Tesla... he still hasn't quite achieved table manners though and wears very expensive clothes as if impersonating a commercial hot air ballon .... Come off this exclusive Leica shit and invest in things that will improve the image, and not the "style" or "impression" for are thats worth nothing at all ... my eloquent and fashionable friends.... :-) You know if you do have the argument that moneys a plenty, go for the cheap wraps anyway and give to charity.... and yes I do that! (€11.598 over 2009) and just think of the fashionable leica attributes that I would of been able to buy.... Tax deductible yes that too but still nets up to 6.5 grand!)

prk60091 Posted August 4, 2010 Share #10 Posted August 4, 2010 I've been using this Amazon.com: Bower SS2477 Digital Wrist Strap (Black): Electronics on my D-lux4- it hasnt let me down- its inexpensive and works- i haven't decided if i am going to sell the dl4- if i do- then it will go on the x1 otherwise i will buy another- for $2.96 its not a big decision to buy or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badbob Posted August 4, 2010 Share #11 Posted August 4, 2010 Some of those wrist straps are large enough that they fall off of the wrist when you have the camera in hand, which eliminates your protection. I tried several, and finally went with a strap that came with a Panasonic pocket camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted August 4, 2010 Share #12 Posted August 4, 2010 You may laugh, but I'm using a Nintendo Wii strap. It will DEFINITELY take the weight, it's white and doesn't look too out of place, but the thing is, it has the slider to actually tighten it around the wrist.. having a big open loop doesn't help me much if I can't tighten it down. Like I said, you may laugh but function over form when it comes to not dropping a $2k camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptu Posted August 6, 2010 Share #13 Posted August 6, 2010 I am using one from my old Olympus Mju from film era. Works fine! But I cannot tighten the strap.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardM8 Posted August 10, 2010 Share #17 Posted August 10, 2010 Gordy or Luigi for me. Simply because they look and feel fab on the X1. A wrist strap is not really something to start a debate about imo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted August 10, 2010 Share #18 Posted August 10, 2010 I'm confused Richard. I thought everyone was just offering thoughts, did I miss the debate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardM8 Posted August 10, 2010 Share #19 Posted August 10, 2010 It might be the small Nokia screen I'm using but I think there are some pretty reproachful words up this thread. About living up to the scene, metaphores about commercial hot air balloons, coming off expensive Leica shit, etc... But I guess all this can be put under 'offering thoughts' to. ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaddict Posted August 10, 2010 Share #20 Posted August 10, 2010 I have the Leica one; same quality as the neck strap but more convenient when using a belt bag. Sure, I'm using it too. It's absolutely fine with the belt case, that I wear on my shoulder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
