Long camera strap?

[TobiasL]

I'm looking for a long camera strap for my rangefinder, about 120cm and preferably in leather. I have looked on Ebay but no luck, most are 90-110cm which is too short for me.

I have looked at Gordy's but don't like the look, Artisan & Artist and BlackLabel don't have any longer than 90cm it seems.

Anyone have any suggestions or do I need to get one custom made?

I recently bought one of these: http://www.onabags.com/store/small-goods/the-lima-camera-strap.html?color=black#black

Crazy long at around ~160cm total length. It has (4) four total adjustment points. I actually had to trim mine it was so long! Good (and quite different) looking, well made, quality leather, canvas, and hardware ... and rather inexpensive! I use it on my Rolleiflex and it looks the part.

'lance' straps will make a strap at any custom length you ask for…at no extra charge!

^^ what back_alley said. I have a 60 inch lance strap. It's not leather but it's been great - long enough to sling across the chest and light and loose enough to wrap around your hands for an impromptu wrist strap. It's so good I'm thinking about ditching my beloved luigi strap on my M9.

Apologies if you've already seen this one from A&A, but it's new (and interesting) to me, at least…

Cheers

Also needed an across the chest strap and due to high prices (for me) I just bought a length of nylon webbing, the adjusters and snap swivels and made my own. It cost about $10 in materials.
