Saw this earlier but finally getting a chance to sit down and reply. Congrats on the M11, Kyoto is basically a dream for rangefinder shooting. Since you are coming from an M6, the weight and feel are different enough that a good strap is huge. I have tried many over the years and it really depends on how you carry. Are you a neck strap person or do you prefer cross-body? In my experience, you should look at these for those long hiking days:

• Peak Design Slide Lite Camera Strap Black: Super practical because you can adjust the length in two seconds. It is not the prettiest thing on a Leica, but the anchor system is reliable as hell when you are moving fast.
• Artisan & Artist ACAM-102 Cloth Strap Black: Very old school. It is soft, rolls up easily in a bag, and feels more like your M6 setup. Also, think about a Oberwerth Leica M11 Half Case Leather. It adds some grip and protects the bottom plate which gets scratched way too easily. You will want that extra layer of safety when setting it down on stone walls at temples.

Regarding what #2 said about "Saw this earlier but finally getting a chance..."

• I totally get that. Coming from film, the digital workflow is the real shocker. Honestly, skip the bulky Leica charger and grab an Anker 735 Charger GaNPrime 65W. It charges the M11 via USB-C and your phone at the same time. I also swear by the Peak Design Cuff Camera Wrist Strap for crowded Kyoto temples. Way more practical than a neck strap in crowds.

Kyoto is gonna be incredible but you really need to be careful with that M11 screen. Coming from an M6, the digital fragility might surprise you. I would suggest grabbing at least one Leica BP-SCL7 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery because that 60MP sensor pulls a lot of juice, especially if you use the rear screen a lot. Make sure to get the Leica Screen Protector for M11 Hybrid Glass on there before you even leave the house. Also, honestly, the camera is kinda slippery for long days. I always use a Leica M11 Thumb Support Black Aluminum to keep my grip secure while walking. Just watch out when you slide it into the hot shoe... dont force it or you might scratch the finish. Its a spendy setup so better safe than sorry, imo.

Honestly so excited for you! Kyoto is going to be amazing with that M11! I totally agree with YieldYonder about the USB-C charging being a lifesaver, but coming from an M6, you gotta be obsessive about data reliability and sensor dust. The M11 sensor is a total dust magnet compared to film... I never go anywhere without a Giottos Rocket Air Blaster Large in my bag. It is an absolute must-have for keeping that 60MP sensor clean while you are out in the field. For staying organized and safe, here is what I usually pack:

• SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II cards for fast, reliable storage
• B+W 39mm UV Haze MRC Nano 010 Filter to protect your expensive glass from scratches
• Think Tank Photo SD Pixel Pocket Rocket to keep all your cards in one secure place Those SanDisk cards are fantastic because they handle the high-bitrate files without any lag. And seriously, get a good filter! It is way cheaper to replace a filter than a Leica lens element if you bump into someone at a crowded temple... definitely worth it for the peace of mind alone!
