The "Always Wear a Camera" Calfskin Camera Strap
Model "Magnum" for the Leica SL and the Leica S
By Thorsten von Overgaard
I like many camera straps, and I have quite a few. But then sometimes I want something made just for me. That's how I made a few camera straps with Italian designer Matteo Perin that you can now also get. We started with the Leica M and the Leica Q, and finally we found a simple design for the Leica SL/Leica S. A beautiful, black calfskin camera strap that comes in two lengths, 125 cm and 145 cm (both adjustable 9cm in length), and with handpainted orange edge, made of 3mm soft calfskin leather.
A simple leather strap for the Leica SL and Leica S
The Leica S and the Leica SL models have a strap lug that requires a quite different strap design, and generally they tend to become complicated and bulky. My goal is always simplicity and simply a strap that holds the camera. We now found a way to make just that. If you like simplicity made in extreme quality that you can feel whenever you tought this strap, it's the right one for you.

I like simple things
A strap of exquisite quality, soft and discrete. A metal ring in each end to connect to the camera strap lug. The exact right length to have across the chest. Doesn't stick to the shoulders, doesn't slide too easily. With a handpainted orange edging to make it special, and a silver stampled "ALWAYS WEAR A CAMERA" that whispers to you in the morning. That's all.
No metal or plastic adjustment rings, no fancy stuff added. No adjustment is needed for a strap that was made the right way.

"The SL camera strap has arrived. I can resume it in one word: Gorgeous! The leather grain is superb and supple. The length cut is perfect. My camera looks sexier :-)
Congratulations - A real handcrafted masterpiece!"

Only strap in the world that comes in 145cm as standard
Which length is right for you? The camera should rest on your hip/belt.
125cm is the 'best length' for most people, but I make a 145cm as well. Most cameras comes with an all-to-short 90cm strap.
Here is how the different lengths look on a 6 feet tal person (180 cm):

"The most simple strap I've ever tried on the Leica SL2, it makes the camera feel like a much smaller camera."

The strap is adjustable in increments of 15mm, adjustable op to 9cm in length.
Orange edge is handpained nine times for softness and durability.
The idea is simplicity. That the Leica SL should be as handy to bring out and about as a Leica M.
