Not everyone here is on the same level of development photographically. So, like you say, the delete button is for those who don't think they don't care or already know what's being discussed. > > >>> BTW, anyone familiar with Leica M construction will advise NOT to use a wrist strap, either on the bottom plate OR on one strap lug. Period. Neither is strong enough. You'll bend the tripod socket or pull the lug out. Eventually. Forget about it. I'd like to know whether anybody actually had his/her strap lug or tripod socket bent or pulled out because of using a wriststrap. > >Ben > ######### Let's cool things down a bit. That thread began with my comment on invisibility (how to become invisible when we photograph). It appeared that the Leica wriststrap was rather unknowned among us. Is the wrist crap...oops scrap, no... strap a danger for the precious lug of a lugger's camera ? Good question. I suppose that the Leica Camera QC service has tested the wriststrap with 100,000 rotations around the lug ;-) Dominique Pellissier > > >
