Leica Carry Strap Cameras 14312
I picked this strap up a few months ago and it is an extremely nice, flexible strap that stays out of your way. In most circumstances it is surely worth the cash but there is one large caveat with regards to this strap. Because of its’ design it will not fit most of today’s cameras with the type of strap lug that requires the strap itself to be fed through the lug. This strap needs to have the type of camera lug which accepts a clip. whether or not you need an example of the type of strap lug necessitated for this strap go to this web site [...]. The round lugs on the Pentax K1000 are perfect for this strap, with or without the triangular looking clips you see on the K1000 SE.
Accept for that one caveat, this is a fantasti strap and I love it very much. It is comfortable but stays nicely out of the way when I’m using the camera. I would love to attach it to my Canon G10 as the two would be an almost perfect match (and the G10′s strap is so lousy) but, without undoing the strap, I can’t make them work.
Call me self-indulgent, but I wanted a nice utile strap to compliment my Fujifilm X100 12.3 MP APS-C CMOS EXR Digital Camera with 23mm Fujinon Lens and 2.8-Inch LCD. After looking at all the options, my brain collapsed from strap overload. While in the sanitarium, I came all over an article by Ken Rockwell who apparently has never had an indecisive moment in his life. He unconditionally commended this strap and defined in no uncertain terms how to install it and wear its I blindly followed his advice and am very happy with the result. Sure, it’s thirty-five bucks for a length of nylon webbing, but it’s the only genuine Leica bit in my kit, and only the discerning will observe the black on black Leica logo. Plus, the Wetzlar persons have had eighty years to work out how to the right way hang a rangefinder from your neck. This is the strap Cartier Bresson would have used, maybe, if he’d hung around and decisive to go digital.
It actually does look good, hang well, and it’s unobtrusive.
I went back and forth on ordering this strap, after all, it is just a strap. How much better could it be? I was going overseas and didn’t want to standout with a big CANON on my strap so I at long last decided to bought I ought to have done it months ago.
The strap is longer than the default Canon strap so it goes over my shoulder and beneath my arm easily. I can let the camera hang at my side and pull it up to shoot. With the default canon strap I could only hang it on my shoulder and hope it didn’t fall off. I would spend a lot of time just carrying it is Those days are a thing of the past.
The strap is small and fits better in the bag than the default strap and is just fewer bulky. I put this on a Canon 40D and had numerous of the same troubles other reviewers have mentioned. It will NOT fit in the right hand strap hold on the 40D. I just added a key ring and problem solved.
I highly recommend this product and will add one to all my cameras in the future.
I have been using Leica straps on my Nikons as far back as the film era. This one is one carrying a Nikon D-200. A immense betterment over the wide, brightly logoed, for the most part useless and amateurish OEM strap.
Well-designed, sturdy, perchance with a lower carrying ability than the UPstrap, but at least the pad doesn’t tear up clothes.
