Hi All,

Having burnt/melted my MX-1 strap on a candle, I'm looking for another one - or info as to where I can get one from?

Regards,

John.

Hi John,

How about one of these

I think they would look great on an MX-1....

Would the Q strap suit?

Hi Ken,

I've been away with the MX-1 for a couple of weeks. I'm not familiar with the Q strap, looking for an MX-1 one though really (unless they're the same?).

No idea if they are the same but the Q one is just like a regular Pentax DSLR one only narrower

John Riley has a q and an MX-1 at the moment so he will know if the Q strap fits

Having looked at a photo of the Q strap, it looks like it would fit. Anybody know for sure?

I've had a look and they both are the same width, or so close it makes no difference. The Q strap will be fine, albeit with the PENTAX name in the wrong colour! Q is red name, MX-1 is grey name.
Best regards, John

I've tried the Q strap and I find the strap ends are too wide for the MX-1 lugs. I would say 8mm v 6mm, unless you are supposed to have those little ring things

The thing that I find strange, the strap (O-ST130) is listed in the manual as an accessory, but when I search the Ricoh site it's not recognized. Hey ho
