This is for a small MFT camera (Panasonic GF1) that has ~9mm loops whereas a Nikon DSLR, for example, as ~12mm loops. Where can I get one? There's plenty of straps on eBay but they all seem to be either the wrong size, bright colours, leather (don't want leather) or some fancy sling design. I just want a basic black webbing affair without any kind of branding. Any suggestions?
 
I've an Optech strap for my DSLR and would certainly recommend one...

they do a mirrorless sling which is good :)

I have an Optech for my E-M1 that has QR connectors at each end..... I WILL NOT USE IT.

QR connectors have been known to slip out if not pushed fully home.......BANG.....your pride and joy smashes onto the pavement.
 
yep, and they do few models with no QR , but I have used/tried the velcro/mushroom thing, and I couldn't pull it apart. And the larger clips do click home loudly, the mini qd not so much.
 
Try The Friendly Swede on Amazon.

They do a bundle of two straps for £10. The straps are decent quality and go really long if you want.
 
Thanks for the recommendations. I thought the Optech ones that I had seen were a bit too fancy for my needs but I ended up getting a more basic strap from that manufacturer. It's got the same neoprene pad as the type that splits but no buckles and webbing that's the right width for more compact cameras.
