Dopaco Posted March 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Hola amigos: Compré mi cámara Leica TL2 y venía con la correa de silicona original, que me pareció muy rígida y opté por comprar la correa de cuero Leica, que era más flexible y manejable. Admito que soy un poco exigente porque cuando saco la cámara TL2 para tomar fotos, la correa siempre sale torcida y no me gusta para nada. (Ver foto): Además, se enrolla fácilmente en la mano y muñeca, brindando seguridad ante una posible caída de la cámara. Me he dado cuenta de que Leica vende correas fabricadas con cuerdas de alpinismo de 100 cm. y 120cm, de largo y con un diámetro de 9 a 10cm, muy resistente y diseñado por COOPH, que se vende por 75 € de 1m € y no tiene el problema de las correas de cuero que indiqué anteriormente. Hay otras correas de cuerda que no son Leica y son mucho más baratas y que ves en los anuncios similares a las Leica. ¿Este precio más alto de Leica lo compensa con un mejor agarre, diseño y calidad? ¿Alguien ha probado alguna de estas correas? ..... Cuál es tu opinión...

gteague Posted March 22, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 22, 2021 2 minutes ago, Dopaco said: Hello friends: I bought my Leica TL2 camera and it came with the original silicone strap, which I found to be very stiff and I opted to buy the Leica leather strap, which was more flexible and manageable. I admit that I am a bit picky because when I pull out the TL2 camera to take photos, the strap always comes out crooked and I don't like it at all. (View photo): In addition, it rolls easily on the hand and wrist, providing security against a possible fall of the camera. I have noticed that Leica sells straps made from 100cm mountaineering ropes. and 120cm, long and with a diameter of 9 to 10cm, very resistant and designed by COOPH, which sells for € 75 of € 1m and does not have the problem of the leather straps that I indicated above. There are other rope straps that are not Leica and are much cheaper and that you see in the ads similar to the Leica. Does this higher Leica price make up for it with better grip, design and quality? Has anyone tried any of these straps? ..... What is your opinion... Thanks i've tried 3 rope straps, mostly because i'm stubborn and wanted one to work. but see those 'tabs' of leather where the strap attaches? those are stiff and completely block your access to controls on right and left top of the camera including the shutter button. even after two failures i even tried again with my new q2 and got a vivant (?) strap which is one of the higher quality of the under $100 models. this improved one claimed their tabs were so flexible they wouldn't be in the way and indeed they bent easier than the earlier ones, but still obstructed the controls. i then tried a rock'n'roll strap due to extremely favorable reviews and i liked it a lot, but it just wasn't long enough to carry sling style with the camera on my hip. plus, it was stiffer than i expected--the leather wasn't the highest quality. worse, it was 'sticky' and when used sling style it wouldn't slide around your shoulders when you brought the camera into play. so what did i end up with? i usually run my peak system straps and anchors on my other cameras, but this looks ridiculous on the q2. so i paid on obscene price for an overgaard leather strap and even paid $30 extra for the 145cm version vs the default 125cm version. i've only had it a few days and only one outing. but it's a delight. exactly the right length, looks good with the orange edge (yosemite version), and the italian calfskin even smells heavenly. best part is that it's many times more supple than the r&r strap and will slide to allow you to easily swing the camera to the front, but stays put while you're carrying it. /guy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guytou Posted March 22, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 22, 2021 I much prefer this type of strap attached to my CL : https://www.peakdesign.com/collections/straps/ More practical and very flexible to use. Guytou 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted March 22, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 22, 2021 Second that! I've got plenty of straps, but these are the ones I use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gteague Posted March 22, 2021 Share #5 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) believe me, i'm a huge investor in the peak system of bags and straps and tripod and clips and anchors and nearly all my cameras in use have peak anchors on them and some have the tripod quick mount and i keep 3 straps (slide lite, slide, and the wide one) ready to attach to whichever one i'm taking out. so of course i thought i'd use the q2 with the system as well, but for some reason the anchors and the strap just clashed with the q2 although i have no issue with the cl. and i'm hardly one to have much fashion sense--i'm more of 'whatever works best'. but in the case of the q2 i decided that looks mattered at least a little. and the strap i got hangs the camera at the exact length and angle that the peak straps would, but is about half the width and looks more elegant.

Dopaco Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted March 22, 2021 Thanks for comment. I saw this video. I really liked the strap it wears and the ease of movement it provides. I searched the internet and saw that the Leica had the highest price. Possibly buy a rope strap, in theory and for price the leica would be the best. Unless I get some advice that convinces me.

ruskkyle Posted March 23, 2021 Share #7 Posted March 23, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) @Dopaco I got the 126cm Cooph/Leica rope strap which is perfect for my use. Long enough to carry sling-style across my body and very flexible and soft so it doesn’t cause any friction when I pull it up to my eye. Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted March 23, 2021 Share #8 Posted March 23, 2021 My problem with all these straps is that I don't like scratchy metal rings against my camera. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted March 23, 2021 Share #10 Posted March 23, 2021 Yes, Leica both standard and a-la-carte straps are quite good in this respect as well, but I still don't like it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gteague Posted March 23, 2021 Share #11 Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) there is a quite cheap strap sold under the leica brand for about $50 which has unique connectors where you can just squeeze and turn them to release the strap very quickly. i wish some strap makers would steal or license this because those connectors can't really be used on regular split ring straps. but the leica strap is designed for front of body and is way too short to enable sling carry and it has a 6-8" sort of rubbery sticky segment designed so it won't move around your neck. and the materials seem very very cheap and its construction doesn't inspire trust. /guy Edited March 23, 2021 by gteague Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you, although with a little DIY you have an easy solution. AliExpress straps do not have that problem and only cost 10 or 11 euros, although their low price is a bit scary.

Dopaco Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted March 25, 2021 I have ordered one here of 100 cm. For this price one can risk: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/33047174479.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.314563c0QOS6kZ Welcome, dear visitor!

For this price one can risk: The 126cm Leica COOPH, I don't dislike the color and it's the best price I've ever seen. So that the Leica COOPH cannot scratch the camera with the metal ring, I will say what I do to prevent that from happening. I have ordered a 126cm here, to see differences and in case one day I want to wear it as a shoulder bag. https://www.meister-camera.com/de/produkt/9261/leica-rope-strap-cooph-gray-126cm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

beewee Posted March 27, 2021 Share #14 Posted March 27, 2021 I have a Leica COOPH double rope strap for the SL2-S and it feels a bit on the stiff side for me as I prefer something more supple. On the M10, I have the Artisan & Artist ACAM 310 silk strap and it is by far my favourite rope-style strap. It’s incredibly soft and supple and never gets in the way.

robgo2 Posted March 30, 2021 Share #15 Posted March 30, 2021 I have rope straps on my CL, Q2, Q2M and one other smallish camera. The brand that I really like are Rock & Roll Straps. They are of high quality and are very comfortable with a lightweight system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful, excellent quality, supple. I also tried various rope straps but they typically had a thick end at the connection to the camera which interfered with hand placement. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volbeat Posted April 9, 2021 Share #17 Posted April 9, 2021 I bought this rope strap on eBay for use on another (cheaper) camera because it was less than £20 and available as 1.2m. How tiny do you have to be to wear a 1m strap? The quality is knockout. Absolutely incredible for the money and a really nice guy to deal with. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hand-made-cord-rope-leather-camera-neck-strap-120cm-long-Black-Panther/193898330100?hash=item2d253db7f4:g:u6YAAOSw5-lgLWWE The metal parts are kept away from the camera body by the Artisan & Artist half-case (there's one on clearance at RedDot right now). And I'm using 2 split rings each side because it's MUCH easier to link & unlink than going direct to the camera fixing lugs. Sorry about the iPad pic. Welcome, dear visitor!

Gadfly21 Posted April 9, 2021 Share #18 Posted April 9, 2021 I can swear by the silk strap in red. They produce a different length as well. http://www.artisan-n-artist.com/product_detail.php?id=272 I do actually love the stock nylon strap with D-rings: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/30496-REG/Leica_14312_Carrying_Strap_with_Anti_Slip.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopaco Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share #20 Posted April 10, 2021 I got the strap that I show in the photo in Meister Camera for € 75, plus shipping, now I see that they have it for € 80, (LEICA rope strap by Cooph, gray, 126 cm or 126 / 2.54 = 50 "). . https://www.meister-camera.com/de/produkt/9261/leica-rope-strap-cooph-gray-126cm It comes in a very well prepared Leica case and has a very robust appearance, it does not have a protective tab so that the ring does not rub against the metal of the camera and can scratch it. I had to do it with a piece of black leather, as seen in the photo. Welcome, dear visitor!
