Huh? What Kenji? Something like Gordy straps?


Edited: oh man!!! That is the type I'm looking for..one with metal hooks... Anyone uses it too? Is it lasting?? ^_^

 

[raytoei]

what you need to know:

* cloth or leather

Cloth is comfortable, ie. Voigtlander

Leather is longer lasting

* long or short

Long is probably better , can be slung by the shoulder like a handbag

Short is easier to shoot, worn over the neck

I use a variety of straps, and i like both cloth and leather.

Of course, i also use landyard cable and mobile phone neck straps for my p&s cameras also ....

Just went to google it. The cases seem nice for the Leica RFs. However the metal hooks on the straps look quite easy to open accidentally. Does it have a safety catch to lock it in place? Can't seem to see it from the photos.

However it is never a problem! Most important is the man behind the camera and Bro Raytoei have taken some of the nicest photos I've seen on CS! Kudos to you!

Very nice selection! I personally prefer the Braided Pitch Black over the Chrome, which is a bit to "luxurious" for me. The quality is very good though for both!

Anyway, more poison!!!
