These are made of a soft but indestructible nylon with a discretely integrated non-slip shoulder pad. They fit the shoulder or neck perfectly and are the right width for supporting all Leica M camera/lens combos, including with the M5. I favour them over the current Leica-supplied straps in Arctic cold because the Solms strap's shoulder pad gets extremely hard and inflexible in those conditions, suitable only for swatting sled dogs... The Contax strap surfaces at shows and sometimes on eBay for about $8-10. I attach them via triangular Nikon-brand fittings, the kind with the little black plastic inserts. Emanuel Lowi Montreal
