OK, apologies in advance - this is no doubt the dumbest post I've ever inflicted upon you all. Its just one of those little bits of wonderfulness that makes life better but nobody generally bothers to mention.
THIS LITTLE PIECE OF PLASTIC:
View attachment 44554
I got one of these little guys with my X100 and now I have two, one of them brand spankin' new and unscuffed. I just realized this now that I've decided that the X10 is a keeper and I've probably gone beyond the return window anyway, and so I fished around in the box to see if there was anything useful in there I hadn't grabbed yet. This little contraption was dreamt up by Fuji (or maybe they copied it) and it makes the putting on and taking off of camera straps that use the little metal rings SO MUCH EASIER than any other method I've ever tried. The sharp little wedge piece just fits right in between the two metal pieces of a typical key ring or camera strap ring and then you slide it in a bit and it separates the two sides so you can get a key on or get the ring onto a camera strap lug. No more busted fingernails, no more trying to wedge a penny or a dime in there. This little guy is da bomb!
I don't change camera straps that much, but sometimes I do, and this little 2 cent piece of plastic is the handiest little doo-dad I've ever found for the job. I like 'em so much I might have to drill a hole in one of them and then use the other one to get the first one onto my key ring, so it'll always be handy.
OK, I'm done. Sorry about that. But in case anyone didn't know what that little piece was for, now you do.
