Harry Benz straps have a unique design that protects the camera body - see example below. He will custom make any length you want. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Hi T25UFO, Take a look here Leica M11-P Safari. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Kiwimac Posted June 16 Share #342 Posted June 16 48 minutes ago, AndersPH said: Nice strap 👍🏻 length? No protection between ring and body? As per the above, Harry made it for me. He uses water buffalo hide which is extremely resilient and doesn’t stretch. The length is 150cm. It’s designed to be worn cross-body with the camera sitting on my right hip. That way when I drop my right hand the camera is right there. I have three of Harry’s straps and highly recommend them. Each is made by him in his workshop in Canada. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwimac Posted June 16 Share #343 Posted June 16 2 hours ago, justj said: Good choice, as official Leica cognac strap has very sharp metal rings that destroy camera lugs like Pitbull with new sofas. Harry’s stainless steel split rings are tough to attach because they’re really firm. However, they do not ever come off by accident!🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T25UFO Posted June 18 Share #345 Posted June 18 2 hours ago, Al Brown said: I do not see that design on Kiwimac's strap Yes, you're right, but all Harry's straps have the same design with thicker leather around the metal ring. I think Kiwimac has the B strap where the end is slightly smaller, but still provides protection from scratching. Welcome, dear visitor!

Leather will rub the paint off as well just not as quickly as split ring does, mine already shows signs of wearing from the movement of strap only after one month. I wonder why Leica change the design and abandon the plastic strap guard. Welcome, dear visitor!

I bought my M11 Mono in December 2023, it is my most used camera and no sign of any wear. The strap is Harry Benz Pinstripe. Perhaps the new regular black finish is more robust than Safari green 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberjuanm2 Posted June 18 Share #350 Posted June 18 Added the IDSworks folding thumb grip. The tone is different from the Leica silver and I think matches well with the titanium finish ‘lux.

Not sure about other regions. There’s one for sale at Progear in Auckland. At least it says it’s in stock and their website is usually accurate. I heard a rumour that NZ was only allocated 2 of them by Leica in Australia. I have one so potentially that’s the other one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwimac Posted June 19 Share #353 Posted June 19 Mine is actually a custom Pinstripe which you can find here Harry has refined the design a little. Rather than the strap having a second piece sewn on, he’s designed it so that the whole thing is now part of the strap itself, which is obviously neater and stronger. You can see here how it prevents the rings touching the body. Welcome, dear visitor!

It's not a contest to see who has the most expensive lens camera combo. There we two main discussion points here, silver lens / black lens on safari and if it matches and then the brightinstar (which performs well for the price) in pine green. I'm sure most here own heaps of other lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
