I'm looking for a good strap for my Konica Hexar AF. Right now it has a thin nylon Nikon strap, originally meant for the 35AF. I've looked at the Domke straps, but I find them rather overpriced. I saw one of these Leica M straps somewhere for not to expensive. Does anyone know if these fit the Hexar's eyelets? They seem to be rather narrow.

You might want to take a look at the upstrap rangefinder straps from upstrap.com - absolutely will not fall off your shoulder! I've used these with my R-D1 and M8 and they do what they say. The SLR versions also work but obviously not what you're looking for.
I've also had success with the Domke Gripper strap which also has a similar narrow strap that will mount on pretty much any rangefinder.
The leather and Leica straps are all rather over-rated in terms of comfort and performance these days. The good thing about an original M strap is the eyelet assembly which make it easy to fit/remove the strap if you need to. That's about all though! IMHO.
