[Leica] Vedr: Vedr: M camera straps

[richard at richardmanphoto.com (Richard Man)]

I have not used the A&S silk cord on a heavy camera (I have an OP/Tech
strap for the E-3, but since I only use it for events, I usually would be
holding that for the entire duration).

On the M9 and XPan, the silk cord does not dig. Remember that I can't stand
the Thumbs-up poking at me, I think this says something...
