Neck strap for M2

Can anyone recommend a place to get decent camera strap, as in over the shoulder. No everyreadys, i hate those things. My camera doesnt have any rings, so thats kind of slowing me down in finding one. Also not a collector and could care less if it scratches the body as well so barbed wire is ok as well

my last strap was bought at the local camera store, the domke gripper, nice and long and very grippable.

I use a piece of old guitar strap or 'native art' strapping type stuff you can pick for a fiver in a market. Stich a fold in the end and use some black nylon shoe lace to attach. It grips, washes and doesn't take up any space if camera is in the bag.

I too use the Domke. Reasonably priced, comfortable, grips like mad.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread but I have a greater problem Who makes a neck strap for the (unloved) M5? It doesn't have the round eye-lets that the other Ms have instead it is a rectangular lug. The same type of lugs are used on the CL. Currently I am using the neck strap from my Contax ST. Would be nice to get another neck strap that works so that I can re-unite the strap back to its rightful place.

Cheers,

Gordy's My favorite is natural leather with black tread - I have one on my M3.

Those Gordys look pretty good, decent price as well, thanks to all for their replies, they're always appreciated.
