sveinp Posted December 25, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I will not start a new "substantial" strap thread but anyone who knows the maximum length of the MM leather strap? I am looking for a classic black leather strap - that is long enough... And I can't stand the orig 14312 for my M9-P! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanJW Posted December 26, 2012 Share #4 Posted December 26, 2012 Luigi (Leicatime) adjustable leather can get pretty long. I like my strap longer than "normal", and if I recall properly he was able to cut one to length. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted December 26, 2012 Share #5 Posted December 26, 2012 I replaced my MM strap with the Artisan & Artist ACAM 250 strap. It is 35" long. It is a fixed length. It was $42.88 from Popflash. I did take some black polish to it to hide the white thread. It looks and feels great. Not sure of the length of the strap from Leica as I never took it out of the box.

Do you know whether or not "the shop" is closed re something? I tried as well and haven't received a response. My back up was to go with a Gordy strap. I wear it bandolier style and want it to slide up and down across my chest without any grip whatsoever. Maybe Gordy can invert the surfaces making the smooth side down.
