wlaidlaw Posted November 16, 2015 Share #21 Posted November 16, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Am I correct that the strap threads through the strap lugs and does not attach like the M's with a metal ring. Generally I dislike the standard Leica straps as I find the rubber pad gives me a rash on my neck but none of my selection of Luigi Crescenzi straps will fit I fear, as they are all designed to attach with split rings.

Advertisement Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Hi wlaidlaw, Take a look here Leica SL is here. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LocalHero1953 Posted November 16, 2015 Share #22 Posted November 16, 2015 Hard luck - I was going to ask Ivor how many he got, but you've answered my question. He's been promised more this month. I'm no. 4 on the original list Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they're flat-ribbon style lugs. Makes sense for larger, heavier camera-lens assemblies. From what I saw at the demo, the supplied strap looks pretty good, seemed to be much like the later R strap that I liked a lot. I hope it's long enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted November 16, 2015 Share #24 Posted November 16, 2015 I think I must be allergic to the rubber that Leica use for their strap pads, as they bring me out in a rash and are very itchy if I have them on my neck for just a few minutes. I have given away most of my Leica straps to forum members. I have asked Luigi if they are designing a range of straps for the SL. I would think the bit that goes through the lug would need to be made of nylon, as leather would wear away. Wilson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted November 16, 2015 Share #25 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Popflash is getting one tomorrow. I'm in the next or next next batch. Which is probably OK, since I can't get over to pick it up until early December. Where's the first unboxing video? scott Edited November 16, 2015 by scott kirkpatrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACAM-110 in several colors, about $60. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted November 16, 2015 Share #28 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Where's the first unboxing video? scott Rather down-to-earth boxing for the SL, this in contrast to the rather fancy M-boxes - so unboxing video would be even more booring than on average. The body has a great feel, a convenient size (for my hands) and a weight similar to the M240 with EVF and a grip. Very nice. Waiting for the battery to be charged so the fun can start...

I agree. And I'm pleased that they went with simple, business-like packaging. Solid, practical packing for a solid, practical camera. The symbolism is noticeable.

farnz Posted November 16, 2015 Share #32 Posted November 16, 2015 … the Leica neoprene strap gives me shivers down my spine Sounds like you've got it attached the wrong way then, Jono.

Wilson Yes, the strap lugs are a small bar across a cut-out in the top edges of the body. Needs a ribbon on the end of the strap. IMO, much better than than the split-ring style. Stays out the way and doesn't rattle in the wind - important for video. Doesn't break your finger nail when changing straps. I found that my favorite hand strap, the SpiderPro, fits neatly.

dgktkr Posted November 17, 2015 Share #39 Posted November 17, 2015 For those of you who have gotten your SL, is there a date code on the box like there is for the Q (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/250305-availability/?p=2842874)?
