It's okay to worship, but make sure that you insure them.

Here is my solution for my Leica M10s and Fuji XT2 and XH1 cameras using the quick release system from Peak Design.

 

I used to use Peak Design straps and their excellent Everyday Messenger bag. However, I sold the Messenger bag and instead use my Billingham Hadley Pro, f1.4 and Hadley One bags, depending upon the gear and outing. My usual carry for two M10 bodies and 4 Leica primes is my well used Hadley Pro.

 

Now, I only use the Peak Design quick release system which I have adapted to my favorite straps from Rock N' Roll and Gordy. I purchased the Leica SL Rock N' Roll straps with the leather strip on the end designed to attach to the SL's rectangular eyelets. I happily discovered that the strap end fits perfectly into the eyelet of the Peak Design clip. I use the 125cm SL strap and I was able to order the standard length 120cm M strap with the leather strips on the ends instead of the standard split rings. Rock N' Roll didn't charge any extra for this modification. Sweet!

 

The newest version of the Peak Design fastener has a thin enough cable to allow it to threaded through the body eyelet without using split rings. This eliminates the possibility of scratches or wear on the body's finish. You can buy the Peak Design fastener and clips from the usual dealers. They are relatively inexpensive.

 

My Fuji body eyelets require the use of the split ring supplied with the camera to which I attached the Peak Design fastener.

 

Here are photos of my set up.

I have only just discovered these Peak design straps, not sure why I've not picked up on them before.   I just bought the thinner peak design strap because I have a four day trip to Venice next month,  the CL and M10 will share one strap, as usual trying to save space in bags.   I had the exact same Rock and Roll strap but too bulky for me. 

Nice website Bud - paid special attention to your Italy Portfolio.

Hi Boojay.

 

Thank you for your comments. 

 

I didn't say this in my original post, but I still use the Peak Design sling strap and Leash particularly if I'm going to be out in wet weather. They also fold up easily and more compact than the Rock & Roll straps. 

 

The Peak Design quick release system is what makes changing neck and wrist straps practical. As such, it allows you to use many different brands of straps easily. Kudos to PD for their adaptable design.
