refriedsunset Posted September 13 Share #1 Posted September 13 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a Tuenne "Mammut Crag Workhorse Storm Strap" that I like, except it feels like it'll beat the crap out of the camera body. The ends are metal and with the split rings, they tap and scrape against the body. I don't baby my camera, but I also don't wilfully abuse it either. Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted September 14 Share #2 Posted September 14 Often straps will have a small leather washer like for instance these Leica A-La-Carte straps. Most good brands have similar protection. Such a washer is quite simple to make yourself. Personally I use Peak Design straps, which are without metal in the connector and eminently practical. For the camera you show I might consider a Luigi Crescenzi "Genuis" strap. Welcome, dear visitor!

XMan Posted September 14 Share #3 Posted September 14 I am a fan of peak Designs and have a number of their bags and straps. However, I am moving away from their straps because of the metal attachments. The back faces of the connectors that loop onto the camera and the adjusting buckles on the straps are metal. With the wide straps - big buckles. I found myself needing to wrap the strap when I put a camera in a bag. I am now seeking a soft simple leather strap with no metal attachments. Just deciding which from several I have found on line. While I am here, I have a Leica rope strap without any metal and find it too bulky and stiff. I saw a lovely cloth strap in our local Leica store at over AUD300 which I thought extortionate. Quality brilliant but cost unjustifiable. Welcome, dear visitor!

LocalHero1953 Posted September 14 Share #4 Posted September 14 (edited) To the OP. You say you like that strap, but although you can protect against the split ring with a leather washer, if the ends of the strap are metal as well as you say - that's just poor design. I would find something better. That's a funny looking M11 in your photo by the way.😉 Edited September 14 by LocalHero1953 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef63 Posted September 14 Share #5 Posted September 14 A strap that’s likely to scratch your camera body is not a strap you can ‘like’. It’s similar to saying: I like this photo — but unfortunately the main subject is out of focus. How can you really like that photo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XMan Posted September 14 Share #6 Posted September 14 Not sure who LocalHero is talking to (OP?) but I can say I like my neighbour. He has bad breath but I will not cancel him for that. And I have ordered a SmallRigg leather strap which will not scratch the camera and is securely attached by split rings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 14 Share #7 Posted September 14 Advertisement (gone after registration) In general split rings will damage the attachments. I have seen old M cameras with the ears nearly worn through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
