Thanks for the tip Lance.
I tried a shoe repair shop as well as the local pro photo shop (lot's
of used stuff there), but so far I haven't been able to find anything
appropriate. I'll keep a look out, and I think I can see what it is
your describing. I don't use an ER case (bought a tiny Lowe Apex 110
AW bag that fits the camera perfectly - except when I want it hanging
from my neck!), so I think leather might offer better wear resistance
and strength.
Cheers,
Thor

I've used a plain old plastic strap typical if the '70's on my 2.8C
for years. These straps have a couple small holes about 1/2" apart
with a longitudinal slit between them. You slip the strap through
the upper strap hanger and secure the strap's larger hole, via the
slit to the mushroomed lug on the camera body and pull tight.
Trim any excess length which may interfere with the wind or focus
knobs.
If the strap material is thin enough, it will allow use of the ER
Case as well since the locking tabs are thin metal. I can supply
pics of two variations on this theme to prove it works. I believe
my current strap is OEM off a Minolta SRT-101. Leather works just
as well and looks/seems better but is thicker and won't work with
the case far as I know.
Health, Peace

Wow, it's Friday already.
Well, especially now that the 2.8D is back, I need a strap more than
ever. Anyone? Fleenor has one, but he wants like $30 for shipping a
simple strap. Highway robbery, that is.
I was hoping someone else might have one, for sale without gouging me
on shipping...
