Hello Charles,
By far the VERY best strap is one made by KAMERALEDER.
George Elanjian is the owner/designer, and LHSA member.
After trying them all, for so many years, these are the best.
Best regards,
Bob

Recently I inherited a Leica IIf (no slow speeds) in mint like condition. The year of the camera '53-54 (677xxx).
Inside was a roll of Kodachrome-X, ASA 64, with more than half of the roll having been exposed.
The camera has always been stored in a dry, cool, climate.
I would love to see the pictures that were taken, but I am not sure if the film would still be good.
What year did Kodak stop making Kodachrome-X ?.
Do you think it would be worth the chance to try and have the film developed ?
Who would you recommend develop the Kodachrome-X ?.
Any advise most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the review. Hopefully I will have my new CV 35/2.5 in time for the "Spring Shoot". It should arrive either today or tomorrow.
I will talk to you more about it when I see you in Victoria, BC. this weekend. Pray for sunshine !.

Ken,
Mark Theken is the most downright,upright Leica man in the whole world. He is as honest, and fair as anyone you would ever deal with.
I have bought numerous items from him and never been disappointed.
He's a nice guy too !. A pleasure to do business with !.

You made a VERY GOOG BUY. The seller didn't really understand what he had. That lens in that condition is a $900.00 item, easy.
GOOD ON YOU !!!
Way to be alert !!! Enjoy your new fondler.

Doug,
I am in envy of your work. As you know I have both the 400 & 560 and an appreciation for your patience and wildlife photography skills to capture such magnificent photo's.
Both photo's are fine in their own way.
Third photo will be a "show stopper".
Thanks for posting your magnificent work.

Thanks Todd, thanks for the heads-up on the reference "Leica and Other Camera Repair Resources." It is a excellent list.
One thing to keep in mind, as I am sure a lot of members already know, our good friend Roger Pelham of Trotwood, OH. has passed away. He was a wonderful, and honest Leica great guy.
See the LHSA tribute to Roger, in the LHSA VIEWFINDER Vol.35 No.4 4th Qt. 2002 by Jim Lager.

Leica Leather Strap Remake Question
in Leica and Rangefinders
Posted
KAMERALEDER is still in business. I reciently purchased two additional straps, and talked to George on the phone, and e-mail.
They are the finest strap available. Not necessarily the least expensive, just the best. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
