It's not a matter of the neck strap being "unacceptable", as much as inconvenient. I really like the strap on the LX: it's just the right length that it can wrap around my wrist a couple of times, and I can hold the camera in my right hand as I walk, ready to shoot.
Because the Leica is smaller, has no grip, and the strap is the wrong length, it's not such a good fit.
I like your idea of a wrist strap that screws into the tripod socket, Shel.
I must keep my eyes open for one. Sounds like just what I need.
cheers, frank

Or, should a neck strap be unacceptable, a nice, small, lightweight wrist strap that screws into the tripod socket is a very fine alternative.
