Hello Ken,

	I used the regular Leica straps (like the one that came with your new M6)
but this summer I switched over to the Domke Gripper straps and am quite
happy with them.  The Leica strap works but the Domke is more comfortable
especially if it comes in contact with your skin, seems less inclined to
slip off of your shoulder, won't mark the camera body, comes in a variety
of colours and is easy to install and remove.  Besides all of that, I have
an aversion to plastic!
