What all straps do you prefer with your 120 cameras? I used to use a neoprene strap for my fuji 6x9 but now switched to an op/tech neoprene wrist strap. What do you think works best for you?

Surprised no one has commented on this. My take would be first of all it depends on the camera. None of my 6x6 nor even my Zeiss 6x9 have straps, other than a hand strap on the end. My Rolleiflex has the normal one that comes with its Yashica case. My Super Press 23 has a wide strap that used to be sold for 35mm cameras. It is strong enough, and sure helps spead the weight on my shoulder.
I think whatever will fit and give you what you want in carrying ability will be fine. That simple.

For my Hassey and my c220 I use op/tech neoprene full straps and I find they support the weight of the cameras well. Not as classy looking as some of the handmade stuff but after lugging them all day I prefer function over all else.

Another vote for Op/Tech shoulder strap.

I'm definitely sold on OP/TECH Uni-loop strap connectors.

They are inexpensive enough and I use them with a couple of Tamrac straps that I've had for ages. A plus is these connectors include leather scuff pads.
I find it interesting that the original poster is using his Big Fuji with a wrist strap.

Something inexpensive: Domke gripper strap
Something a little nicer: Luigi (Leicatime) Deluxe strap
I use either for my Super Ikonta C, and used to use the Domke strap on my Mamiya C220 (before selling it)

I don't generally use a strap on any of my MF cameras. The exception is Hassy when not mounted to a monopod or tripod. They are just to heavy to carry in hand for long periods of time. Then I use the strap that came with the camera when new.
