Hello forum,
I had the hand strap of my GL-2 come out of the body of the camera while shooting a wedding last month, Has anybody out there had that happen to them? I searched the net for a fix ,nothing really out there ,any suggestions thank you.

Hey, Blayde.................

No answe coming here, why not contact Canon Service and ask them?

Gotta be a better way to go.

Hey Chris I guess that is the next step, Thanks

Any luck Blayde? same thing happened to me.

Nothing Yet... been busy with other things, however will be trying to rectify this "soon", let me know if you have any luck, Thanks

I've had my share of problems, most of the time I've done my own GL2 repairs. I'm also one of those lucky ones to have acquired a service manual. The manual shows a breakdown of what Canon calls the left cover (yes, I know, when you hold the camera the strap is on the right side).

If you are mechanically inclined, and not all thumbs, with a set of jeweler's screwdrivers and some patients, you can probably fix the strap problem yourself. I don't have a camera on the bench at the moment, otherwise I'd give you a step by step procedure on how to remove the panels to get to the strap.

If you are interested in doing the repairs and would like more info, contact me and I'll look into it for you. It's been months since I've had one of the GL2's torn down, just can't remember how the strap attached.

You will probably notice some of my posts elsewhere on this forum, I'm not new to this.

Hope I don't get spam from this, but you can contact me at emptech@yahoo.com
