I m using the one supply in the box, but 24-90 lens is so heavy that causing strap to slide to the hook corner. Any other options recommended?

I'm very fond of the Brogue SL by Harry Benz, but I do not use SL lenses on the SL.

I use one from Eddycam for the SL and the 24/90 - like it.

I use the Leash from peak design. Works very well for me with SL and 24-90. Like the Brogue, the strap doesnt "give" anything so the weight is evenly distributed.

 

...I also have the Brogue, but favors the Leash because It's so versatile...

I don't use a neck/shoulder strap - it's all too heavy. I use a handstrap (Herringbone Heritage).

+1, I use the Brogue SL on my Leica SL and my Leica S (Typ 007) as well, they work perfectly and look great too Plus, Harry is great to deal with. Highly recommended

I like my rapid straps. They distribute the weight across the body better than a straight shoulder strap.

Hand straps are good and camera is always ready. I also have Optech strap system, with connectors on the D-loops on my backpack's shoulder straps to which I connect the strap on the camera, so that the camera is tied to the shoulder straps and there is no weight on my neck. Problem is if you forget and unstrap the backpack, you get a camera shoved into your throat.

I tried the strap that comes with the SL, did not care for it. Then tried the wide strap from Luigi which came with my Leciatime leather case, it was better. After that I found a deal on a Tie Her Up leather strap that is just awesome. Yes, it's a little on the expensive side, but when you've spent that much on an SL, why not get the best strap for it. The one shown in the photo on their website is the one I got, named "Rock n Roll SL" in black. Found it to be extremely well made and comfortable, I highly recommend it. Can be seen here:

Thanks, I have looked into this link, which lens are u using ? I don't know how this leather hook can balance the 24-90 lens, since the lens is heavier it tend to lean toward, and original strap come with SL use to slide too e side and get squeezed, look ugly and I don't think this is proper strap for the SL.

 

Please share your thought , the Rock n roll do look very nice....

I use the Leica SL 24-90 zoom on my SL. The Rock n Roll strap handles the weight very well.

I use their XL strap.

There was an earlier thread on this not long ago (page 2 of the forum):

Irrespective of brand and material I am curious if people prefer shoulder length or bandolier style?
