2geeze Posted August 8, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) A newbie question, obviously, but is the strap for the Q2 model specific somehow, or are straps for other Leica models cross-compatible with it? I'm specifically curious if the Angelo Pelle Milano strap is compatible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 Hi 2geeze, Take a look here Strap for Q2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bullmoon Posted August 8, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2019 They actually show it on a Q right here:http://www.angelo-pelle.com/neck-strap-milano.html Anything the can use the rings that go into the little strap lugs will work. If you want a no BS, affordable strap, I don't think you can do better than this - thin, light, strong, and rubber pad so it won't slip easily off the shoulder like the included Q/Q2 straps - originally shipped with M6/M7 cameras, I have not found a better strap:https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/30496-REG/Leica_14312_Carrying_Strap_with_Anti_Slip.html?ap=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkK_qBRD8ARIsAOteukDOkXMXPf4IwR8II2HFryRZVK8GiGsVIsckMGAkaN7Xvdgowt16cREaAvJqEALw_wcB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a couple of the photos on the Pelle site of their straps on Q's, but just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything different about the lugs on the Q2. Thanks for the recommendation as well--I saw that strap recommended on another thread about not scratching up an M with the metal rings, and thought it looked interesting.

bullmoon Posted August 8, 2019 Share #4 Posted August 8, 2019 I put some round leather protectors on mine since nearly anything that touches the body will show some ware - maybe even the leather after a point. I hope I get that much use out of my Q2! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using it on a Q-P now, styling matches the camera perfectly. Beautifully made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cry with joy over the beauty and craftsmanship of the product. Cry with anguish over the costs.

Strmbrg Posted August 17, 2019 Share #10 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) I bought the overexpensive Leica Rope Strap. No complaints other than the weird price. As nearly always, I had to modify things I buy. I am not happy with strap-rings. They get stuck upside down, they scratch and wear cameras and lugs. Moreover they do not swivel when I twist the strap around my wrist so the strap gets sprung and unconfortable. I pulled off the rings in favour of a self-made solution of extreme simplicity.

It defies logic for me that Leica produces a strap with rings that will no doubt scratch the top edge of the camera unless additional protection is added. I have an Arte de mano case and it’s top leather snaps do a great job protecting the edges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
