Re: [Rollei] Strap type for Rolleicord Vb?

I'm afraid you are wrong, and may mislead the original questor.

The Vb just uses a thin leather strap with a slotted hole to go
over the post.  One could use a woven nylon strap with a buckle.

The 2.8C or MXV type strap is an overpriced, non-adjustable.
PITA,  even on the cameras for which it was intended.
