But two things, most people buy BP because it wears to the brass, and second the modern BP is a tough powder coating process so wear isn’t going to happen soon.

adamwarmington Posted February 12, 2024 Author Share #3  Posted February 12, 2024 Thanks yeah well aware of the brassing. But don't want needless marks from metal on metal. Not gonna tape it - there are plenty of options with little leather tabs where the strap meets the camera. Just looking for inspiration is all  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radost Posted February 17, 2024 Share #8 Â Posted February 17, 2024 Go to a swap meet and buy 10-20 old straps. Plenty of good once. My M3 is on a Kodak woven , Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250swb Posted February 17, 2024 Share #10  Posted February 17, 2024 I've got a couple leather straps from this guy on eBay and there are a good choice of lengths and colours https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324772679576?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yzHueVwqTRm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=fGJNE44AQGu&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I have a couple of Peak Design camera straps but I'm gradually adapting all my leather camera straps to the Peak Design quick release anchor links because I often want to take the strap off when the camera is on a tripod or change to a wrist strap. With the quick release system you could get away with just one strap for all your cameras https://uk.peakdesign.com/collections/straps/products/anchor-links  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Brown Posted February 18, 2024 Share #14 Â Posted February 18, 2024 (edited) I have a custom made strap on my M10-R BP in dark brown, but all my other straps (bar one from A&A) are from this friendly gentleman @Pavlos Koutsoukos in Greece who has a rather brutal collection and selection and makes custom lengths. https://www.hyperioncamerastraps.com/ Â Edited February 18, 2024 by Al Brown 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayantony Posted February 21, 2024 Share #17  Posted February 21, 2024 This strap comes with little leather O-rings to protect the paint. Simple and effective. Plus the leather half case achieves the same result. I'm strap obsessed and have several but this one keeps finding its way back on my camera. I think it rather handsome!

humerc Posted February 23, 2024 Share #18 Â Posted February 23, 2024 I use Gordys Camera Straps on all my Leicas. Looks classical, high quality (very soft after a little use) and really not expensive. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esleepy Posted February 27, 2024 Share #20  Posted February 27, 2024 I have this strap in black paired with a couple leather ring protectors on my BP MP. It looks great with the brass hardware and quickly became my favorite strap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
