I've attached one of those Nikon straps. They're well made, but useless for when you want to quickly put down of pick up your camera. When you're walking about with the camera, it's a blessing, though; I never uses neck-staps and dropping such expensive gear is not my idea of a good time. The Nikon name is printed into the leather only quite feebly and with a little rubbing become invisible. The missing Leica srtap is really the only thing wrong with the R8. Bernard
