Leica calls them M and R straps, with different stock numbers -- 14312 was the M strap and 14325 the R strap. It says so right on the box! As I indicated, I use the R straps even on my LTM cameras. Either will work on any camera but the M strap is narrower and slips off my shoulder, while the R strap stays nicely in place. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
