What strap are you using on the DP2 or DP 1 Merrill? I'm not crazy about the oem strap and would like something a little better. On my fuji X100 I'm using LANCE rope type strap and wrap it around my wrist and use it as a wrist strap. Just looking for something a little better. Any suggestions are apprecated.

Thanks Mescalamba! Forgot to clone out that one. There was one more in the water.
And Bobu thanks for your comment on my photo!
The review ain't that bad. It is a tempting camera, although I want FF, especially with that new 35 Sigma lens, but there are very little lenses I have that are adaptable to the Sigma mount. I have 3 Leica R lenses and of course M42 lenses, but that's about it. Conurus with Contax N is a possibility but I have no N lenses.
And there is a Leitax solution for the C/Y Planar 85/1.4 and Distagon 35/1.4, so those would be adaptable that way. Anybody who did that?

I have been thoroughly enjoying all the images being posted here on this forum and thought I might share a few of my own made over the last couple of months with my DP2M. Here is one of my first images I felt worthy to post.
The early morning sun was peaking through a hole in the now nearly bare trees illuminating the bark of this tree. Unfortunately, I was on my way to work so had to shuffle off. I would have loved to just sit down and watch this for a bit longer!

Thanks sculptormic!, No bears, and likely hasn't been any for many years. Grizzlies and black bears would have roamed here though 100+ years ago and maybe the odd stray between then and now.

Piper Creek is but a small creek most of the year, virtually frozen solid in winter. Springtime, however, is a different story. There will be a two week period during spring when the warm temperatures first hit the prairies in a sustained manner melting the majority of our accumulated snow rather quickly. Sometimes this is accompanied by rain as well. Needless to say, tiny Piper Creek comes becomes a roaring torrent as deep as 3-4 meters and flowing very quickly. This massive rush of water causes havoc with the banks along the creek and inevitably trees get undercut and fall. A few of the trees in this image will make it to next spring now that the ground has frozen, but next spring may find some of these regal oldies lying on the forest floor or bridging the creek.
A fresh bit of snow adds some brightness to this dark corner of the coulee a few weeks back.

Thanks Juan.
I hope that's not the last boat out - but then again, you get the whole beach to yourself!
A step back a few weeks before any snow or weather that would freeze up Waskasoo Creek here in Red Deer, Alberta. A small stone in the creek was sticking through the surface just enough to stop a leaf. Soon, another stuck to that leaf and so on. Pretty soon we have a nice collection. Most of the leaves, though, went around and continued there journey towards the Red Deer River only a kilometer away.

Love seeing your images Michiel - feels like I'm on vacation!
I usually can’t wait for autumn and all the changes that happen, be it colours, smells, temperatures – all good. But another big reason for my love of the season is the shapes of trees that become evident and which have been hiding behind a clothing of leaves all summer, making their shapes smoothed over and relatively boring. Most trees of a certain species all look very similar when clothed in leaves, but strip that layer away and what is revealed is a beautiful and unique creation.

Lovely images.
I received the Richard Freniac grip for the DP2 M today, and what a lovely piece of work it is. The perspective I took the image from makes the grip look slightly deeper than it is; when you look from the top of the camera, its thickness at the highest point is less than half the lens height.
It transforms the camera, for me. See here:

FYI to all DP2M owners: BHPhoto has BP-41 batteries in stock again. I just ordered two more. I've been checking their website every day.
