Hand/neck strap for Alpa FPS?

Anyone got a suggestion?

I've had my camera for 2 years now, and still not got a strap on it. One day it's going to slip from cold fingers!
Any answers welcomed - that top right loop-lug is really small... and limits choices a bit.

I've got more straps than camera cases and I don't trust any of them. As you said, that loop lug is small and that should be enough for caution. I carry STC attached to my tripod with legs in shortest position. It may seem a little clumsy but I have a lot more faith in my Cube or whatever head and tripod on my shoulder than any strap.

Sorry for poor mobile pic, but I use the void in the grip to fasten the original Alpa handstrap. I'm sure it isn't intended to be like this, but it feels safe and I cannot see that I can do any harm on anything.

Another nod to the Camdapter strap. But I must confess it was recommended by Marc Williams who uses it with his Leica S.

Dan, can't believe you are using that Schneider 90TS!!? What a beast. I used one on a D800 for a very short while, but part of the problem may have been the Nikon as the lens back focused on that body.
