Re: [Leica] Case for M4-P

["Ted Bayer" <tedbayer@harbornet.com>]

Hi Sonny:

That sounds like good advice.  I want to do that, too.  Now, please help
me out.

What strap would you suggest.  I know there are some that are made to
protect the camera from scratches where it attaches to the eyes, but I
don't anything about brands, etc. or where to get them.

Also, I am a big guy, so need something that will be long enough.

Any help will be appreciated.

Ted in Olalla.
