ronx Posted December 27, 2010 Share #1 Posted December 27, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All: My black X1 is on its way from BH Photo. I also ordered a Leica "transport" case. But I've just realized that I need a wrist strap to go with this case. I can't find any length specification of the Leica strap 18713. Judging by the pictures, the strap looks too long for a small camera like X1. Could anybody please let me know the length of this wrist strap? I am also looking for alternatives on ebay. It seems to me that only the wrist straps with thin nylon cord (just like the Leica one) can be used with the case, so that it can stay with the camera when case is closed. Any recommendations? Thank you. Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DwF Posted December 28, 2010 Share #2 Posted December 28, 2010 I highly recommend you look at these straps. I have one like the one pictured on the top of the page linked here currently on my LX5. I am using the neck strap for my X1 but Gordy's wrist strap would be perfect for the X1. gordy's camera straps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Jones Posted December 28, 2010 Share #3 Posted December 28, 2010 The strap is 260mm overall (including nylon attach loop), the leather part is 210mm, it can be closed around the wrist by a sliding leather loop. It is very comfortable and does seem big to begin with, but softens nicely and looks right enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badbob Posted December 28, 2010 Share #4 Posted December 28, 2010 I quit using the Leica strap because the camera kept falling from my wrist. Now I use a strap from a small Panasonic camera, which works well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronx Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted December 30, 2010 Thank you all for the information and recommendation. I received my black X1 and the case today! I think I am going to order the Leica wrist strap. 260 mm is not extremely long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am going to order the Leica wrist strap. 260 mm is not extremely long. Personally, I found it a bit stiff and bulky for my taste... I'm considering alternatives now...
