Subject: [Leica] longer strap

The pad on the upstrap would spend very little time on the top of my
shoulder where is should be. And be spending most of the time in the way. Or
in my arm pit. It is not repositionable. Bummer.
I bought a repositionable Domke strap pad which I use when I'm bearing
heavier loads. I put it on that strap I have in use at the time.

Its the Domke 725-310 FA-031 U.S. Post Office Shoulder Pad.

Price :$ 13.59
