I've always liked the LX strap, and wish it fit easily on the Leicas now that I no longer have an LX. It works very well on the MX too. I also like the Leica straps, but the problem with them is that they don't swivel, and I don't like having a twisted strap. What I use, and you might like them if you haven't already tried them, are Domke 1" Gripper straps. They are the perfect width - about the same as the LX. They swivel. They're made from very robust materials, although thicker than the LX. You can easily change the length to suit your tastes. I also wrap them round my wrist quite often. -- Cheers, Bob
