my unconventional strap setup... basically a wrist-strap on the right and detachable neck strap on the left, doubling the quick-disconnectors just in case

Do you know this web? http://www.leicagoodies.com/
I think is better the hook (see the web, is made of metal) for your neck strap, I don't like plastic parts in a Leica...

I bought it really used (these are actually the photos from his ad I kept), he explained the tape: "If its screwed in all the way in it will focus to 1m, which is the normal close focus distance for an m2. It won't effect anything but the last couple feet of rangefinder patch coupling whether its screwed in or not. If you want it to focus a little bit closer (as close as some of the later lenses focus) you can have it slightly unscrewed w some tape or just take it out and tape it."

Not quite sure, never removed the tape, just take photos with it.

That's one heck of a re-entry to rangefinders. Nice!

ditto but it's my second time round with an F1.1, I didn't get along with it the first time but I've grown to appreciate the 50mm FOV more since them will ost some stuff up on here later, always paying on the links below otherwise.

I don`t have a 50/2 in screwmount and like the 50/2.0 Nikkor-H-C, so I bought an Amedeo adapter (again).
