The best camera is one that still works!
Somewhere ... some poor sod is going to get shot while going for their camera around an edgy law enforcer who's had one too many coffees!
Crazy IMO!

Looking at it there is no retention to keep the strap from dangling when bending over so I see no advantage to it still. It's a camera strap that holds the camera vertically (3 lug Leica M5 or a CL) but this one allows the camera to be quickly removed from the strap and probably fall out once that leather has broken in and taken the shape of the body. It still will need a cross-waist and or adjustable keeper strap which will attach to the belt in order to keep the camera from flopping around just like it's on a regular strap.
The problem with the leather holster above is that it is too hot in the summer here. It is not a good material to be against metal either. The holster itself will cause marks on a good camera and is not really going to protect the camera much but will certainly add a patina quite nicely if that is what one likes. And without a grip on the camera, I would think an M body would be slippery at times and drops would be frequent for me. JMO...:angel:

remind me: what's wrong with a good strap?
