That little pancake lens is quite attractive. I haven't tried the 16mm prime.

I have been carrying my NEX-7 with a wrist strap when suddenly it suffered a 
massive failure. Luckily it fell into my bike's handlebar bag! Now I have to 
find another one. 

Anyone have recommendations for a good, reliable, sturdy wrist strap that 
isn't huge? Something 2-3" wide is a non-starter for me.

Thanks!
