elgenper Posted September 3, 2015 Share #42 Posted September 3, 2015 Careful with the middle one! Those twin hooks EAT the eyelets on the camera bodies. Once I bought two of them for my two Leicaflex SL:s, and they made deep slits in all four eyelets before I noticed what was going on... IIRC, they were originally included with the Leica R3, which had stainless steel linings in the eyelets (inherited from Minolta), so they were more or less immune from this kind of wear. But putting them on my present Leicas... never, ever! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 3, 2015 Share #43 Posted September 3, 2015 14226 was the official strap for M4-2 and M4-P. Been using one with my M4-2 for 30+ years and i'm still using it on my R-D1. FWIW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kilmister Posted September 3, 2015 Share #44 Posted September 3, 2015 Maybe I am simple but I am quite happy with the strap supplied with the M. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jochiongv Posted September 4, 2015 Share #46 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Has anyone use Luigi's Essential straps? I love the no metal parts concept but do u think it will really take the weight of the M240? Been using the Leicatime "Essential" strap for a few months and am very pleased with it. Before I was using the Annie Barton "Sensuality"--similar "tiny tail" concept and was quite pleased with it as well, except that it was a bit too short for my taste. Both are more than strong enough for my M-P, most of the time with a Lux 50mm. Of course I don't go swinging the camera around as in a rodeo... and with both, I did/do make a point of every now and then, visually inspecting the "tiny tail" at the lug attachment points. Thus far I see no cuts/rips/any signs of leather failure. The Essential is made of a very soft leather, thus easily wraps around the lens. This makes it very easy to handle the camera in and out of a bag. The Sensuality is a folded/double layer leather design, has a shoulder pad, and is doubly stitched along its length. This, IMO, probably makes it a bit stronger, certainly stiffer. I'd have no hesitation recommending both, for anyone who wishes a strap with no metal ring attachments.

Musotographer Posted September 5, 2015 Share #48 Posted September 5, 2015 Artisan & Artist slider strap; I cycle a lot and it allows me to hoist my 240 tight round my upper back, well out of the way of the bike, and quickly release it back to hip level when I'm on foot - brilliant. Cycling with a Leica makes me much more careful too - I'm much more concerned about it being damaged than I am about me ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shlomo Posted May 18, 2017 Share #49 Posted May 18, 2017 I've been using the Harry Benz Urūshī for the past few months and it may be the best strap I've ever used (and I've used most over the years). I like it so much that I just ordered another for my Monochrom. urūshī — Harry Benz Hi, could You please show a real world - picture from the used Urūshī? Thank You. Kindest, Shlomo.

Mashimaro Posted May 25, 2017 Share #51 Posted May 25, 2017 I have two Arte Di Mano straps and matching cases in leather. One is the "lasso" style and the other is a flat leather. Very comfy and soft. I also have an Artisan & Artist Easy Slider strap which is great but I don't like bow slippery it is if I hang it off my shoulder vs slinging it around my body.

DaveNC Posted May 25, 2017 Share #52 Posted May 25, 2017 I'm enjoying a 34 inch black Gordy's strap with the neck pad. It keeps the M-D right where I want it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ru2far2c Posted May 25, 2017 Share #53 Posted May 25, 2017 There is the up strap as well. It is simular to the stock leica strap except the rubber padding is heavier in weight. Plus they make a few versions in kevlar webbing. I have used their straps for a long time with DSLR and mirrorless systems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shlomo Posted June 20, 2017 Share #55 Posted June 20, 2017 Is this what you want? Camera Strap a.jpg Ecohen, I believe, it's Eli, isn't it? :-) After a few weeks or even months of usage - is there still enough red color? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECohen Posted June 20, 2017 Share #56 Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Ecohen, I believe, it's Eli, isn't it? :-) After a few weeks or even months of usage - is there still enough red color? I didn't understand ....and never thought about the red wearing off....like new Mine is over a year old and as you can see from the photo it still looks great. ....that said, at close examination the red has flaked off where the strap hits the body. I don't baby the camera or the strap. And I think in 5 years the red on the strap will be well warn in spots and still look great . I wouldn't mind a little brassing on my camera either;-) Look at the flaking on the right side of the strap near the ring (post 50) that's about it. Do you want more close ups of my year old strap? ....its no trouble I also have a Benz B that is very very well used and just looks like worn black leather. What I like best about this strap isn't the red but the strong water buffalo leather, that is surprisingly soft. Also the ways the end attaches to the rings, keeping them from scratching the camera....great design Hope this helps Evan Cohen Edited June 20, 2017 by ECohen Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyalf Posted June 22, 2017 Share #57 Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) The M9 strap with the rubber pad removed. Lighweight, sturdy and functional (my M240 strap did not lock). Edited June 22, 2017 by flyalf Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub'erman Posted June 25, 2017 Share #58 Posted June 25, 2017 Might just be me, but I prefer to shoot without a strap... That's why I have a little Hadley digital bag that I use when I walk about with my camera looking for shots to shoot... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
