Advertisement Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Hi sarkleshark, Take a look here Best color strap/case for Reporter?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jimtong Posted March 28, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) I am not using any case for reporter, it look too gorgeous to put on a case. The Kevlar material will also lighten up over time when expose to UV according to Leica. So I am not sure if using a case will cause a tan line o your reporter. For strap, I am using rope strap, this is personal but I I thought green/safari color will match the reporter. You may refer to my IG latest posting for the strap I use for Reporter.

Yeah I thought about those tan lines. I just bought a black leather half case with the most body coverage I can find. Didn't buy the Q2MR to be a shelf queen and plan on using it. So I figured a case will keep the Kevlar intact longer but I definitely plan on watching for fading Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
humerc Posted April 2, 2022 Share #5 Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Use my Q2MR without any case, as straps I have Gordys wriststrap and a Gordys neckstrap (both in black). Also have the Cooph Straps, but prefer the Gordys on the Q2MR. (Kevlar hasn’t started fading so far, but it definitely is much more sensitive than leather - one can see slightly lighter color where the fingers and the strap touches it regularly.)

LACANYONHIKER Posted April 4, 2022 Share #7 Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I posted this on another forum thread. I had an Oberwerth full access half case from my former Q2, I'm using it on my new Q2R. I like how it looks but I am also concerned about tan lines. Let me know what you think. Welcome, dear visitor!

The Kevlar changes colour over time by sunlight and that will for sure give you slower progress under the case. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liggy Posted April 5, 2022 Share #9 Posted April 5, 2022 Definitely won’t be using a case on my Reporter. Living in Seattle it’s guaranteed to be deprived of uv rays even without a case. Still loving my Okli paracord / canvas strap with PD links. Welcome, dear visitor!

I guess I’ll have to break down by the thumbgrip. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted July 3, 2022 Share #14 Posted July 3, 2022 My Reporter also goes caseless, with a black 'Silky' cord wrist strap from Luigi Crescenzi. I have a half case from him for my IIf, in Military Green leather, with a Beige and Military Green leather 'Silky' cord neckstrap. That combination would go well with the Q2.

William Cook Posted July 17, 2022 Share #15 Posted July 17, 2022 Peak Designs just introduced a sage color for their interchangeable strap system. Color looks compatible with the Reporter green color. I’m considering it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJH Posted July 19, 2022 Share #16 Posted July 19, 2022 I have the Peak Design sage strap and it goes very well with the Reporter!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted July 19, 2022 Share #17 Posted July 19, 2022 Putting the Q2 in a case is like having a bath with your socks on. Regarding straps, a wrist strap is yer only man. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azfreemans Posted July 29, 2022 Share #18 Posted July 29, 2022 I had an Artisan and Artist wrist strap that I was using on my M10. My original plan was to pick up another one, but I actually like the red/green scheme. Welcome, dear visitor!

PaulJohn Posted August 17, 2022 Share #20 Posted August 17, 2022 I have the opposite problem. I have a Khaki A&A rope strap and am looking for a camera to match it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
