How do I fit a new camera strap to my old TLR camera?

[Mezzotint]

I own a TLR cameras. As it is an old model, the leather neck strap had softened and snapped off due to humid environment over long period of time.

I got a new camera strap but ii's not compatible to the old strap type. How do I fit a new camera strap to my old TLR camera?

Greatly appreciate for the kind help. Thanks.

What TLR is this? Some need special clips in order to fit to the lugs. If your old strap has the clips, then just recycle them. Head to a cobbler(I like Shukey at suntec), they normally are able to sew on straps to the old clips got a small fee.
Alternatively, you could do the restitching yourself..

I'm using Seagull-4A TLR camera and yes, it uses special clips for its neck strap. As the leather material gets wet on my sweaty neck, I feel uncomfortable. Therefore I want to use a more easy-to-use and comfortable strap.

Anyone with any idea how to DIY a pair of stable connectors?

This the same model?

I do not really see any clips, it looks like the strap would just thread thru the lugs.
A picture may help.

The one you posted here is one of the new models marketed for overseas. Those models are Seagull 4A-105, 4A-107 and 4A-109. There may be other models on sale. What I was talking about here is the older model, which you can refer to this image here. This guy DIY his TLR with connectors to be used on new camera strap. I wonder if it's durable and stable enuff to walk on the streets without snapping off and drop on the ground.

would the optech strap have a suitable clip? it looks similar to mamiya 645 ones.

Went to Cathay Photo this afternoon and asked one of the sales personnels, if Super Pro "A" is able to fit in a Seagull TLR. She said, "No it can't. It fits for Mamiya camera only."

Aside to 0200903C, can u kindly verify if this i true? If so I would have to find other alternate solutions. Your kind help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you so much guys for the great help.

well, I guess I'll have to get my original strap clips to ShuKey or whoever can make a nice metallic loop for my new camera strap. Or otherwise I'll sold my old model and get the new one instead. Hahaha...
