Paul Heiney Posted October 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am enjoying my new D LUX 7, but NOT the strap which is a real fiddle to attach. Very small split rings - finger ends bleeding, pen knife and pliers needed. Crazy. And it's too short! How can you design genius cameras and provide lousy straps like these? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered a wrist strap? I find that solution better for my older version D Lux. Deft use of my penknife blade eases fitting a split ring. But a wrist strap has a simple loop to attach. There are alternatives. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenverSteve Posted October 28, 2022 Share #3 Posted October 28, 2022 Well, first, congratulations on your new 7. They are amazingly fun to shoot with. I replaced my strap with a rope strap that works great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N7PVD84?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJMang Posted March 20, 2023 Share #5 Posted March 20, 2023 My problem with the Leica Strap is it’s impossible to remove. I always have a “quick release” mechanism on my camera strap ‘cause I like to be able to take it off easily. I made a simple modification to make the Leica strap work. It required two inexpensive purchases: two micro carabiners, and some super small split rings (because the strap connection on the camera is too small a diameter for any carabiner to slide through). I got the carabiners at REI, and I bought the least number of split rings I could from Amazon… I only needed two, but I have 100, well…now 98.. Welcome, dear visitor!

Stephencdean Posted April 10, 2023 Share #7 Posted April 10, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Use the longer version of a COOPH (126cm) rope strap. Fits nicely in small of back when walking! I usually fix the rings with a Swiss Army knife nail file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
