The sales man (no Leica products here) when given a description of my requirements said "I was just looking at a strap yesterday that would work perfectly". He proceeded into the dimly lit back room and retrieved a very suitable strap. The price $5.35 in Canadian dollars. Why not perfect and only nearly perfect? It's silver in colour and has the word "Canon" written on it in small print. Regards, Greg Stephen Patriquen wrote: >I also purchased one of these a while ago in London.
