Colorblind! Strap recommendation needed

[OlliL]

Hi guys,

I just bought a R2a grey paint and now I need a new neckstrap.
My only strap right now is a brown Leica D-Lux leather strap, but that definitely won't fit. 😀

I was looking at the navy Artisan & Artist (ACAM-104), but just because it is the only one that I found by now.

Black is a no go, so please give me some alternatives. 🙂

Regards
Oliver

I just ordered up a strap from Gordy's Camera Straps. He's got a few different variations in leather straps. Personally snagged a dark brown leather horizontal strap for my R3M thats on the way.

If you are colour blind, pick up one of those dazzling blue striped straps Mamiya packed for a while with their medium format cameras - these tend to go for next to nothing for obvious reasons. Reliable, comfortable, and ugly as hell...

Thanks Travis,

I already have two short straps from Gordy.
Very good quality and great to deal with, but I'm unsure with the colors...

Good one 😀

Or those Indian style, 50 Color Woodstock straps. 😉

Ok I can add Arnuvo, Luxecase and the Domke Gripper...

I know this thread is a little bit useless, but maybe someone has experiences with the above 🙂

I apologize for the cr@ppy pic.. did it in a hurry. Have you considered the Voigtlander strap? It's the one I have attached to the R2S for vertical carry I like it a lot, it's very simple and non-adjustable, works for me to have over one shoulder and just bring up to my eye in one motion. The Domke Gripper 1" is on the Leica with Luigi on the Nikon. I think the Domke is the all around best, relatively inexpensive and they last forever. Also, they come with leather lug protectors which is great if you're crazy about the finish on your camera.

EDIT: just reread your post, realized you don't want black. Sorry! The Domke, however, comes in all sorts of colors (Tan, Olive, Blue *black*) that I'm aware of.

Thanks for the picture. Very kind!

I actually considered the OEM strap, but the problem is that I couldn't find it in Germany or in the EU. I'm going to visit my local camera dealer tomorrow and they are (unofficial) Voigtlander retailer. I'm going to ask if they can order it.

I'm now down to my first choice (A&A) but might buy a second one for comparison, as I heard they are quite short. Their is a local shop that sells A&A but they don't have the particular strap ATM.
