I do prefer the Upstrap but the Canon, Nikon et al straps I have had delivered with my camera are nowhere near as well designed, either the pad or the fastening to the camera, as the standard Leica strap. My M6 has been round the world a few times and it is only on its second strap in 20 years. I like Leica design (and their styling, such as it is) Frank On 26 Mar, 2007, at 04:31, Mark Rabiner wrote: > On 3/25/07 8:18 PM, "lkhermann" <lkhermann@bresnan.net> typed: > >> At 05:32 PM 3/25/2007, you wrote: >>> Holy cr@p. >>> >>> Can't even get the neckstrap right. >>> >>> So it's off for a Passport replacement right?
