[RBW] Re: Grant super slick Camera strap!
Grant, I was pretty sure that you were a traditionalist in your camera interests (nice mechanical cameras, film based). I've pretty well migrated to digital photography in recent years simply because it's so easy (and less expensive) to go from taking a photograph to viewing it (and printing if I wish) on a computer. I also find the quality of digital photography has gotten to be comparable to film, probably for some time now. I'm still a Nikon user, but the Nikon D90 has been what I'm using presently. It's certainly nice though to have the ability to use any of my older Nikon lenses on the latest digital camera. I did, however, get weak knees about a year ago when one of the local photo shops, that specializes in used equipment, came up with a clean appearing first generation Leica M3 with a folding 50mm Elmar lens. I almost decided to trade in a very nice Nikon 70-180mm Micro-Nikkor lens to help fund purchasing the camera. After some reflection, however, I decided to keep what I had. This decision was partially based on my knowledge that older Leicas frequently need the tender mercies of a qualified Leica repair specialist to replace/repair shutter mechanisms, rangefinder patches, etc. I really thought the initial purchase price could easily be the tip of the iceberg in the acquisition of that camera (obviously a more recent M6 or M4 series model would be preferable!). With all that being said, I still have my Nikon F3HP/Nikon N90s film cameras and a bag full of manual focus lenses that I keep thinking about taking out in the field.. Just curious, do you use a film scanner to digitally capture your film images? I have an older Minolta Scan Elite F-2900 35mm film scanner that I've used for some time. It's kinda fiddly to get the colors correct, etc., but I still have been able to get satisfactory results in scanning. It's all fun...

I'm sure that the strap in the photo that Grant is using is available from various sources. Your can find one here, for example: http://www.adorama.com/OTBCHE.html. The camera that he's using, on the other hand, might be more difficult to pick up. It's a classic Leica M3 rangefinder 35mm camera. No digibox for Grant!

[RBW] Re: Grant super slick Camera strap!
Not sure it's a store-bought. Look at the right lug, appears it's a tie down. Might be hissown version of the store bought one. Will agree with the Zeiss Icon camera, maybe Voightlander lens (their lens cover) and maybe an old Minolta CLE grip. The last I'm not positive on, but did have something similar on my CLE years ago. A nice looking camera/strap system. Bouncing around is one reason rarely strap on a camera while I ride. Instead use the old Hobo Bag. (Mandatory Riv content.)
