In reply to Bushcrafter.Thanks . Between my wife and I we have several Peak Design straps, with all the little ‘do dads’ that go with them. This can help

Use any camera strap you like! Simply attach the adapter as shown in the link below, and you can easily switch between straps to fit your preference.

Thanks, Ted! Well, I noticed the sticky straps issue here too, but it’s probably less of a problem in our cooler climate compared to yours. That said, I should mention that I’ve replaced the original Peak Design strap with a few regular ones—sometimes Olympus or other brands—equipped with PD adapters. This way, I can use the PD system with a standard strap.

Have a great weekend and take care!
Marc

Wel, ze zijn technisch altijd wel goed afgewerkt – maar deze kleine D-Lux is gemaakt in Japan – niet in Duitsland. Voor mij ligt het verschil (bij cameras) vooral in de jpg output, de kleuren – en vooral – de zwart wit output is anders dan anderen. Maar mij zal je niet horen zeggen dat een Leica beter is dan een andere camera. Ik denk wel dat het verschil zit in de lenzen, en die zijn dan ook peperduur ! Fijn weekend Joke.

They were just a few test shots, but I’m excited to start using it properly. Thanks again, Walter! Have a great weekend. – Marc

You do a much more thorough inspection and test than I do. Leads to an easier initial use I’m sure. Something I should probably pay attention to. Nice series.
On another note I see Peak Design. There is a love/hate relationship here in warmer climes. Many of their straps have a rubberized strip to hold the straps in place. However… when out in hot humid locations the rubber melts, ruining everything it touches. In fairness they know, have changed the rubber, and it melts. They will replace straps, doesn’t help with whatever else it ruined. Their wrist strap isn’t any better. They do have a great quick connect system which brings people back…with hope. Me included since I just received a new strap, no rubber at all.
