I don't ever put it around my neck - just over my shoulder. I have made one modification: instead of the metal clips attaching the strap to the lugs, I have used slightly oversized key rings. This way I can hold the camera close to the body with just one finger. I like it. :) Regards, Colin http://www.availabledark.com - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Dan Cardish Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2001 2:51 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] STRAP SURVEY (prev Saturday "Pro Photo" Shopping) I like the standard Leica strap. But for some reason, I prefer the strap which came with my older Wetzlar era M6 rather than the otherwise identical strap which came with my M6HM classic. The older one hangs onto my shoulder more securly; perhaps the rubber is a bit softer and forms itself to the shape of my shoulder. But the best strap I have ever used is the strap which came with my Minolta 9. Much better then the "gripper" which I have on my F2, or the Leica straps. dan c. At 02:40 PM 18-11-01 -0500, J.
