I have a 1970 black paint M4 was wondering what strap would have originally come with it when new? Any pictures from an original advert ?
Thanks in advance.

Ok thats what I thought, I did have one of those type but never really trusted it as it was a bit dry and cracked, you would think by the amount of straps out there someone would be making a nice new replica.

There are two types of the black leather strap, a thin one (for the M) and a thick one (for the Leicaflex). The thin ones are remarkable nice to use, but check them carefully.

I have a few of them. Those straps are remarkable and stay supple. I've never seen one get old & cracked. I still use on on my M4 & have made a strap for my CL from another.Ok thats what I thought, I did have one of those type but never really trusted it as it was a bit dry and cracked, you would think by the amount of straps out there someone would be making a nice new replica.

Leather camera strap lifespan
I was looking today at the camera strap I use with a Leica M, a Luigi strap if that matters, something that I may not have done again after the first few days of buying it fifteen years ago. It is very supple and has a nice patina out of many years of use but there's a definitely a wrinkle on...
