neck straps — vertical— lug mount &
 tripod-mount

I only know of two manufacturers that provided for hanging the camera vertically — Leica and Voigtlander. The Leica M5 and CL had an extra lug on the rewind side. The Voigtlander trigger winder for the Bessa series has two lugs for hanging the camera vertically on the film advance side. My vertical neck strap attaches to one lug, with an included 1/2" split ring, and the tripod mount, with my tripod attachment, which lets the camera hang vertically from either side. The tripod attachment is the same as with the tripod mount wrist strap. I personally prefer the vertical hang.

The tripod-mount screws used are the same as on the tripod-mount wrist straps: nickel plated brass thumb screw, black thumb screw and low profile screw. The thumb screws are tightened with your fingers. The low profile screw can be tightened with a coin (coin not provided.) Vertical mounted neck straps with the black thumb screw and low profile screw are US$30. Vertical mounted neck straps with the nickel plated brass thumb screw are US$35. Prices include worldwide shipping.

  Colors

Your choice of 1/4" wide natural, chestnut brown, or dark brown, or black leather with white, gray, black, red, green, blue, yellow, light brown, brown, and dark brown .040" (1mm) diameter waxed heavy-duty thread. Check out the Colors page.

  Figuring out the length

Neck straps are not adjustable so specify the length desired. I made my own 45 inches long. You could get two for those times you are shooting with two lenses — one strap shorter than the other. I will need the length of the strap you want measured from end to end. Centimeters or inches will work. Just let me know the unit of measure.
