x100...wrist or neck strap?

[back alley]

just wondering what most people use on their x100/x100s cameras?
it seems like a camera designed for a wrist strap to me!

I use a Leica M neck strap (on just about everything).

Thin Domke gripper neck strap (worn bandolier style) and sometimes a Zhou leather half case.
Sometimes in the very small Domke bag (FX5 or something?)
Never a wrist strap for my X100 - that's for the LX3.

I use both, depends on situation and/or mood. About 75% neck. So I voted neck.

I use one of these Tripod thread mounted wrist straps. Perfect !

I have always liked the stability I achieve with a wrist strap. Neck straps
I mostly avoid them because if the camera is idle--just hanging there, more bumps seem to "happen". Camera in hand, for me, just helps me stay aware and ready for the next shot.

wrist strap all the time on all my cameras. only put the lance neck strap when travelling and dont feel like carrying a bag.

but the x100/s is small enough to fit in a coats pocket

I have been using the Lumalabs cinch and with the OP/TECH connectors use it for this M2 and also an OM4.
Works great for me.

I have used a Gordy wrist and an Artist & artisan cloth neck strap. So both.

Funny, In all the time I've been photographing,I've never bumped my camera wearing a neck strap.I use a wrist strap on one of my 4/3 cameras and I gotta say I really hate using the thing.I'd rather wrap the neck strap around my wrist.I really enjoy using the Domke 1" swivel strap on all my cameras.7 cameras and 7 straps.

That is not including the 1 4/3 camera.

X100 plus Gordy wriststrap plus Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 20 equals something close to perfect!

One of Gordy's wrist straps. I keep the camera in a pocket or bag when not shooting.

Half case and Leica M neck strap on my black x100 at all times. Looks like I might need to add the red soft release!

I really like wrist straps on smaller cameras. I use them on my X10 and D-Lux 6, while the neckstraps that came with those two stay home. But for me, my X100 is just a little too big and bulky for a wrist strap. In my mind, it is a "real camera," and thus belongs on a neck strap.

Well, "real camera" may not be the essential deciding thing. My Hasselblad 500CM with the 40mm Distagon is certainly a real camera; yet it goes on a hand strap. The last time I carried it on a neck strap, my doctor had to give me an anti-inflammatory to treat my neck pain!

I guess some cameras just seem right on a neckstrap, while others don't.

Neck strap, bandolier-style or wrapped around my wrist.

I should have mentioned that my X100 is protected by a Mr. Zhou half case and also boasts an RFF red 10th anniversary soft release.

i just changed to a lance neck strap that i had around...will give that a try for a few days.

i used to use just wrist straps no matter the camera...anyone use a lance wrist strap? they look a bit bulky.
