thanks for the note of sanity. As with any purchase I sleep on it for a few
nights and pay my bills and college fund first!

Yesterday was the most comfortable M carry yet (short shoulder strap-
vertical carry off right lug) - so it got me to thinking. I am using the
Leica plastic strap but I am trying to improve upon it as that hard plastic
shoulder piece is annoying and prevents the wrist wrap carry (which I
default into when actively shooting).

The simplicity of a leather strap looks like it would fit the bill. I don't
think I need or want a 'micro foam/ wide pad/no slip/ latest nasa tech'
strap.

thanks all,
Eric
