Use any strap on your Leica T! New T Strap Lugs…
Match Technical just released a couple of new items for the Leica T. First up is the new T Strap Lugs. As T owners know, the T comes with a proprietary system for connecting straps..only Leica straps. Many are not fans of the rubber Leica straps for the T and they have had no way to use other straps on their beloved camera..until now.
Using these you just snap these into the camera and bingo, use any strap! You can order them at Leica Store Miami.
Match Technical also designed and released a new Thumbs Up for the T.

I have not tried or tested either of these as they are brand new but I have had experience with Match Technical and they have always been excellent. They have a knack for finding solutions to little issues with certain cameras and their solutions always seem to work so well.
Got a set for my T from Leica Miami, they had them over a moth ago (shameless plug, ask for Josh). Work great
Yes, it’s a leap of faith that they will hold, but as Gary points out above, going on two months and running strong
It is quite possible that all Leica cameras will connect this way. Very nice design as long as it works
If the LEICA system is “proprietary,” do they have a patent on it. I wonder if this is a patent problem for MT? Maybe they are paying a licensing fee. Maybe not an issue. Just sayin’ Steve.
They sell them at Leica stores…so unlikely there is an issue.
Good to hear. Thanks, Steve.
I bought a pair in August from the Leica Store in SF. I was a little reluctant at first, fearing these tiny metal things were not up to Leica standards and might slip out of my T. However, after two months of use, I can report they stay in just fine and have allowed me to ditch the not-so-comfortable silicon strap for a much better leather strap. Yeah for innovation!
Thanks for sharing. It’s always good to hear that an expensive camera won’t drop because of a bad strap connection.
