I got an original black all leather Contax strap for my 4T ..... the
foot long inch and a half wide centre piece is molded to the slant of
one's shoulder and is very comfortable. I've used original Leica and
Nikon straps over the years but this Contax strap is by far the best of
all of them. For $5 in a camera shop's throw bin it was a real bargain!!
