[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

Hello,

I have FED1g 1954 and I need a tripod socket mounted strap. Its 5 dollars at fedka.com but they want 35 dollars postage. I will send the money in registered mail or buy you whatever you want to you equivalent online from your country.

Where do you order your photo supplies? These straps are easily available (search for "wrist strap"), but I don't know which vendors have reasonable shipping to Turkey. Here's the one stocked by B&H Photo. Keep in mind that most FEDs have 3/8" tripod sockets, so you might need a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter. They are also available very cheaply - I bought mine off eBay.

Hello Terry ,

I searched the google , lower the price of good , higher the shipping cost. BH sent me an Leica Mini Zoom , camera was 60 dollars and shipping was 65. Some sites offer handmade straps , way too expensive. Fed 1 costed me 45 dollars plus 30 dollars shipping from Ukraine via my sisters ebay account in France . I buy things from local market in Istanbul , that is only color negative film. I need someone from APUG to sell me a strap. If not , I will build one from handsom sailing rope like my old IIIC Leica. Fed have no lug like Leica.
