     Hi Luggers,
     
     I am really excited.  I just purchased a new M6 and used 50mm f1.4, 
     and 90mm f2.  What a marvel of craftsmanship!
     
     The first thing to do for a newby like myself is to get a camera strap 
     and test the used lens.
     
     Would any of you please recommend a high quality camera strap that 
     will do a good job of protecting the camera from scratches at the lug 
     connections and be very comfortable on the shoulders and neck and be 
     discreet and unobtrusive.  I have used a leather wide strap with 
     leather protectors at the lug connections on my Nikon but I can't find 
     a manufacturer name on it.  Is the new neoprene(?) material the way to 
     go?
     
     Also, any recommendations for a quick test of lens for any defects, 
     etc.?
     
     Ken
