Yaakov Posted May 10, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm wondering if someone out knows if the nylon anti-slip strap included in most Leica M boxes goes all the way from side to side or if the nylon strap itself ends when it meets the anti-slip shoulder pad, in terms of use I really like this strap, its super easy to put and remove from the camera and does not need any "breaking in" time to feel comfortable, not the prettiest but its really becoming my favorite.

I'm not sure what your question is? If you use the strap, why can't you check for yourself 🤔 Sorry if I misunderstood your question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted May 10, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) I think that without cutting the strap, you would never know. Why bother ? Myself as user of those straps since decades, I've never ask myself 🙃. I've never managed to break one ... Minutes ago, I had a look at one with the rubber borders a bit used (after number of years of hard time), to see that the nylon strap is bonded in two layers of rubber. Just use it, it's as tough as can be. Older model same order number 14312 has this separations, we can slide the rubber pad on the strap nylon Welcome, dear visitor!

Steve Ricoh Posted May 10, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 10, 2020 I use the one supplied with my M240. On more than one occasion the D connection to the camera eyelet has worked itself loose, always the same side and it’s the metallic spring working it’s way out of the plastic lock. Also use the same designed strap on my M6 (I’m the ‘n’ th owner but I assume the strap is the original supplied), had no problem with this. Just mention as a caution. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Johnston Posted May 10, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 10, 2020 this has been my favorite strap over time, having used it for 20 years, on everything from M2, M3, M4, M6, M7, R5, R7, M8, M9, and XVario. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Ricoh Posted May 10, 2020 Share #13 Posted May 10, 2020 Yes I’m aware of the fitting guide, just saying the plastic sleeve can work upwards, even if fitted properly. The consequence can be expensive I imagine. When I first encountered the design I always considered it not to be fault tolerant, the fault being the loose-ish fit over the metal D ring, even when pushed down as described in the fitting instructions. solution is to sew thread lexontario mentioned, or replace with a regular split O ring. Or take your chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can cut the pad carefully away if it bothers You. Then You have a plain nylon strap. I did it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I’ll probably leave it on place but now I know the strap will hold my gear properly, I’ve kids at home that love to put some pressure on my camera straps and I’m always afraid they may come apart while carrying the camera Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a few years ago it was quite common for people to cut off the shoulder pad bit. I agree with you, the woven part of the strap is really nice.

Frase Posted May 14, 2020 Share #17 Posted May 14, 2020 I've cut the pad off before it makes quite a nice strap without it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
