[Leica] M8 neckstrap failure

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey@mchsi.com)]

The leather pieces do not protect the lug from the O ring split ends, they 
protect the body only, which dig into the lugs and tear them up.  I've had 
several Nikon lugs torn to the point they needed replacement.  Never again 
for me.
