I use a wrist strap made by Hana - seems to be widely available in 
bubble packs here (Japan) and in Europe. Long enough to slip over the 
left wrist for tension. Best feature is a chunky plastic key to screw it 
to the tripod socket - big enough to curl your little finger round and 
rest against the ball of your palm. Now my shots are steady even after 
lunch!
