I got a Horseman 6x9 VHR and find it a good hand hold camera, that is if I had a more comfortable strap. Is there a leather goods maker who is known for making hand straps similar to the ones that come on regular 4x5 cameras?

Thanks:

Horseman Strap Idea

My favorite straps are nylon. I use one on my Horseman 980 and another on my Busch Pressman. A soft-style, nylon dog collar cut to the right length is very comfortable. Mine came from Walmart. You even have a choice of colors!

There was a guy here (MikeS, maybe?) who had a bunch of nice Linhof wrist straps made up by a holster shop. I suppose any kind of custom leather shop could make a new one using your old strap as a model.

What about Gordy's? Isn't he a sponsor?
