Go get it. > > Paul > I used to use wrist straps when i first got my M6 10 years ago and I took my camera everywhere for a year or two. Once or twice it may have prevented a catastrophe. Once or twice it got in the way and prevented my from getting an important shot. The fact that the tripod hole on the M6 is not centered but way off to the side made the wrist strap at all doable. Centered I don't think it would work. Coincidence that i just happened to be using the only off center camera one was liable to run into. And old Nikon F2? It was one of those generic brands you get on those revolving displays. I got two of them. Later I tried rigging up my own using various materiels like Austin Franklin does but no great luck.
