It is, I bought one for the princely sum of about $30. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite do it for me. The neckstrap lugs are mounted a little too high on the body for me to keep my wrist in the strap comfortably and work the shutter release/wind lever properly. It would be better if there was a plate bolted to the camera baseplate that the strap attached to instead. The strap itself is also somewhat thick and inflexible. It's unfortunate because I like the idea of a security wrist strap a lot more than a neck strap. Something in a nylon weave with a thin leather covering would be better. Hmm. Maybe I'll go talk to my machinist buddy and the guys at my local leather shop.. :) Godfrey
