At present I use some of the thinnest Domke straps without swivels, and some thin leather ones I cut myself. Cost maybe $2, plus a few cents for rivets and split rings. Non-adjustable, as I pretty much know how long my neck and arms are. Slip neatly alongside the camera into the bag. And to Mark R: I don't use my M's in a studio, so I do need straps. I don't, on the other hand, have a strap on any of my Sinar's :-). * Henning J. Wulff /|\ Wulff Photography & Design /###\ mailto:henningw@archiphoto.com |[ ]| http://www.archiphoto.com
