Subject: [Leica] 14130 Strap - Are you using one?

Found in the bottom of a box of "stuff" - an olive drab leather strap, 
plastic shoulder pad and two beautiful, old-style silver chrome strap eyes 
with 1/4-20 threads.? Looks like a strap intended to attach one end to the 
camera's tripod fitting and the other to a tripod fitting on a (large) 
lens.? 



Has anyone used one of these?? Is it comfortable in real life use?? Looks 
like a possibly good way to take some stress off camera strap lugs and 
possibly the lens flange when carrying a heavy lens.? If it isn't a user 
accessory, any thoughts on possible value? 



Thanks 

John Newell
