The problem with the Mamiya (and compatible) straps is the special part to fit on the camera's holders. If I had a couple of those, I could easily build a strap: I have a small leather workshop at home... (I'm currently short on rivets, but it's easily solvable  . |
I've just measured up the studs on the M body- the top of the mushroom is 7.1mm wide, the stem is 3.9mm and the gap is about 2.5mm.
Interestingly, the P6 is almost the same - 6mm top, 4mm stem and gap of 2mm. I already asked grizzly33bear if the Kiev 88 strap would fit a P6, but she replied that it wouldn't. I suspect it's very close to being a fit. I might just order a Kiev strap and try it - it's quite cheap.

What I've found out, and should have been evident, is the Mamiya is really BIG!!!.
No one of my bags is able to hold it, I'm thinking on buying/building one...
Any recommendations?.

I'm only using one of my medium size bags for it - luckily I had a few knocking around. Not much room for anything else in there once the cam+lens is inside.

@ Dave:
The Mamiya RB67 strap fits the P6 apart from the fact that the 'S' shaped post clips can catch on the shutter release protusion when they rotate.
The Op/tech 'B' type strap connectors are Mamiya fit apart from the 645 Super and Pro models so may fit the P6 better if the clips are straight.

It's an excellent opportunity!. The 1000S is the one I was looking for, a little older but more robust and can work without batteries, same lens...
The market price is of around US$ 500 if complete and in good shape!.

Just a SWEET deal, Jes. It will be pure joy composing and focusing with that machine, and hearing the reliable "ker-CHUNK" of the shutter!
Beautiful buy!

Ahah.... I knew I'd seen them before somewhere, but couldn't place them.

They even show the Super Pro connector on an M645.
Thanks for that, Bob.
