You're welcome. I'm using the standard Leica neck strap at present. It's reasonably comfortable and certainly strong enough, but I don't usually wear a large and heavy camera like this around my neck or even on my shoulder very much. I find that too tiring. I usually like to wrap the neckstrap around my wrist for security and carry the camera in my hand, or in a shoulder bag when I'm not actively shooting; I put the camera on around my neck or over my shoulder briefly, when I'm changing lenses or otherwise fussing with getting things in and out of the bag, to prevent drops.
The problem with the standard strap (as with all flat straps) is that they get tangled up when used this way; corded-style straps don't tangle. So I'd just order a Street Strap like I have for all my other cameras ... but the SL strap uses flat ribbon ends rather than split rings and you can't get the Street Strap with the correct ends. I looked at the Lance straps too, they don't have the right ends either. There are adapter ends, but what I've seen of them doesn't inspire confidence. After a good bit of hunting, I have found just one corded strap with the correct ends: the Artisan & Artist ACAM-305 silk cord strap. It's a bit on the pricey side (about $150-$190 depending where you get it from), but I know they're very strong, very light, and very well made. I found a couple of corded leather straps of a similar design, semi-custom made, but they too are in the $150 and plus price bracket. Sigh. Haven't quite made a decision yet, but I'll likely go for the silk corded strap; I trust A&A products. Maybe I'll get it in red to add a little pizzazz to the camera, for Cotty. :-) LOL … I obviously have a bit of time on my hands to write all that about a neck strap. I think I'll process a couple of photos now … G > On Nov 22, 2015, at 5:34 AM, Jack Davis <jdavi...@comcast.net> wrote: > > Godfrey, thanks for the thoroughly detailed response to my > EVF question.
