    Compact wrist strap

    You'd think I was being awkward the hassle I'm having trying to get a decent strap for my A530.

    I want one with the toggle that moves, so you can tighten it against your wrist, but Jessops only do a quick release at the end of this, and I don't fancy that idea as I pop it in and out of my case all the time.

    I don't want a metal one, just a regular cotton/fibre wrist strap. Tried Quigg's of Glasgow, [who'd had someone ask for the same the day before] and Amazon, [who only had one that was so long it'd be a neck strap, and I'd need to put a lamb shank in it from Scout days to work the length down.

    Just wondered if anyone had any ideas...? Yes, I've tried fleabay, but the closest is a strap with Konica on it, which'll do at a push but just a generic one would be nice...

    [edit, must have been hungry, it's a sheep shank, isn't it? ]

    Cheers,

    You can get the moving toggle thingies from most decent "outdoors" type shops - even some Milletts! Should be easy enough to slip the toggle over the end of any suitably long (or short!) strap.
