Another Rolleiflex strap issue

[mike kim]

I took the scissors off the old Rollei strap to use them with a new and modern nylon strap. However, I realized I won't be able to regulate the strap length unless the adjustment system is the same as the original (or Luigi's).

Is there any strap with this system so I could use the scissor clips? I'd rather use them instead of an OpTech strap...

Hi Mike, I made one like this from an old pair of scissor clips:



The short piece with the ring just above the clip allows me to attach whetever strap I want. The one I'm using at the moment is just a cheapy, but it's adjustable. This whole set-up cost me about $10.

otherwise, what you can do is putting a pair of small key-holder rings, it's far much secure (well, I've never used anything else on my T)...

Wayno, I think that's exactly what I was looking for. Too bad my straps are narrower than the clips, but I'll look into that option.

Thanks!
