I must admit that I have a garish red strap for my MX that says "PENTAX" in huge letters. In really small letters, it says "made for" right in front of Pentax, just to remind everyone who looks that Pentax didn't really make the strap. I just love my MX so much that I want everyone to know who made it, I guess. And, it's kind of an anti-Canon anti-Nikon statement. "Here I am, frank the non-conformist - you can tell because it's printed in great huge letters" <vbg> On the plus side, the red dot fell off my Leica's lens, and I never replaced it... <vbg> cheers, frank -- "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
