<< Whoops! Sorry, I didn't think to describe the strap. The one I have here is
 black leather 1/2 inch wide. The leather is soft an smooth finished on one
 side and rough on the other. This finished side has a very thin line
 (embossed?) near each edge. One end is folded over and riveted into a loop.
 The other end is looped also and then attached to an adjustment (for
 length) buckle, which is silver in color. The loops at each end are equipt
 with a silver colored split ring about 5/8 inches in diameter.  All in all
 a simple, yet elegant design,

Good afternoon, Ken:

I will certainly buy four (4) of the leather straps right now.  The soft 
leather strap sure beats the heck out of the scratchy nylon high tec stuff.

Hope the manufacturer of the leather straps will make them in at least three 
(3) different lengths so the short, medium and tall Leica camera owners will 
find them suitable.
