Mikep996 Posted January 20, 2022 Share #121 Posted January 20, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well... IMO, although the leather strap that came with the 10R is OK functionally, it's stiff and uses the typical small round "key" rings to attach. The cheapo Leica one is more flexible/easier to attach/use. Wonder how long it will be before I try this pointless strap-buying exercise again? Maybe if I buy an M11 but that won't happen (if ever) until the 12 is released so I've got several years...;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonL Posted January 21, 2022 Share #122 Posted January 21, 2022 Giving a shout to Woodgate for anyone in the UK. Just ordered the peak design anchor link incorporated strap and they do longer than 50" which so many places fail to do.

Herr Barnack Posted April 30, 2022 Share #127 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) As a do it myself strap project, I ordered five feet of Endura Braid Dyneema 8mm cord: https://www.knotandrope.com/collections/sailing-boating-rope/products/endura-braid-dyneema?variant=21738550919216 I will run the cord thru the loop of a BlackRapid FR-5 FastenR Breathe https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1278414-REG/blackrapid_363001_fasten_r_fr_5.html which will then screw into the tripod socket on the base of my Q2 or M cameras. Then I will tie a knot using both ends of the cord. The reason for making this strap is that Dyneema cord is slash proof (they say) so your camera will not fall victim to slash/grab/run thieves. The 8mm size is rated at a breaking strength of 8100 pounds, so this strap should hold up for a very long time. I got the idea to make my own slash proof camera strap from this article - https://petapixel.com/2022/04/28/travel-focused-camera-strap-is-immune-to-slash-and-grab-theft/ I thought a slash proof strap might be a good thing to have for my upcoming July trip to Nepal, particularly the city of Kathmandu.

timo01 Posted April 30, 2022 Share #128 Posted April 30, 2022 On 1/20/2022 at 3:28 PM, MikeMyers said: My M10 is still wearing the leather strap that came in the box along with the camera. It's light, comfortable, not too "gaudy", and feels very secure. My second favorite is the Leica nylon strap that looks about the same, with a wide shoulder rest, and which is adjustable for length. I probably have five or six of these now, on almost all of my cameras regardless of brand. I've looked at these aftermarket straps for years, but can't find anything I like as much as the strap Leica made for the camera. I liked that I can put the camera on before my light jacket or sweater, and the camera is safely tucked away until I want to use it. I think this is it: M10 Neck Strap - B&H Welcome, dear visitor!

MikeMyers Posted September 17, 2022 Share #129 Posted September 17, 2022 When I bought my M10, I attached the strap that came in the box. Seemed nice, but for years I had been buying what I think is the old "standard" Leica strap for my other cameras, made from Nylon, with the special clips at the end that I always struggle with. Got the camera out today, and when I tried to "brace" the camera against my face using the strap, I once again discovered the strap is too long for me. The Nylon strap is adjustable. I like the wide shoulder rest too. I've got that Leica strap on many of my other cameras - time to put one on my M10. I'm surprised Leica didn't just include it with the camera to begin with.

The old standard 14312 strap was recently discontinued, but can still be found at some stores. Discussed frequently here, including tips to ensure proper installation. (Easiest if clips put on lugs first, without strap connected.) I put them on all my M cameras. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siriusone59 Posted September 17, 2022 Share #131 Posted September 17, 2022 If we're taking a vote, mine goes for any of the handcrafted straps from Harry Benz. Perfection your Leica camera deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMyers Posted October 6, 2022 Share #133 Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I needed a strap for my new Nikon D780, and found this on-line: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GBVDXXZ?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image&th=1 It's from Amazon, and arrived the next day. Despite the low price, I like it a lot. I'll try this one first, but if I continue to like it as much as I do, I plan to get one for my M10. It's adjustable in all the ways I want, and it's made from very nice leather. The picture shows it going through the Nikon fittings, but I removed the plastic part from the fitting, didn't use the large O-rings and put the strap right through the Nikon metal fittings.

If you want a 14312 equivalent (but better imo) than this is your ticket. Best straps ever imo as they alleviate the fear of shoulder slippage, and thereby one doesn't shrug their shoulders as much. https://journeycamera.com/camera-carry-system/small-f-friendship-pad-upstrap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also appears more compact and flexible than the one you linked. Some reviewers on sites like B&H, who have tried both, also prefer the 14312, and are impressed with its lack of slippage. But these things are personal, so whatever one prefers is best. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Bonn Posted October 9, 2022 Share #137 Posted October 9, 2022 I think MAYBE the issue is that the 14312 is discontinued now…? Not sure if I read that somewhere or just imagined I did 🤔🫤 No drama I think… they’ll be around NOS and mint unworn for a long while yet (I have three of them) I guess the strap Charles linked too is a reasonable replacement… (unlike their shipping charges to Europe, which are pretty freaking far from reasonable 😅) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted October 9, 2022 Share #138 Posted October 9, 2022 Discontinued but can be found. My comment was in response to the post that the Upstrap was a better strap and that the 14312 had slippage concerns. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Bonn Posted October 9, 2022 Share #139 Posted October 9, 2022 Yup they’ll be around NOS and mint unworn for a long while yet IMO anyone concerned about slippage should probably wear their camera so that the strap crosses the chest 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted October 9, 2022 Share #140 Posted October 9, 2022 I only carry cross-body with a large, heavy system like SL2 with zoom. With an M, I want a strap that works over shoulder and that doesn’t slip. The 14312 does just that for me. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
