Should I buy a new strap?

All 3 of my cameras havea a cam-in strap, because they're cheap. Thinking of changing one just to make thigns fresh. I'm looking for a black one, not leather because I don't like the feeling of them. Sailor straps are a bit expensive. I have 2 exact same straps that's why, and they look like this. Thanks

I tried to buy a new strap, but it seems someone never shipped it...

 

[Larry Cloetta]

LOL. (though not everyone might understand why it is LOL)

Yes, please buy more gear so it helps vendors thrive.

Get one from Gordy, he's a advertiser here, and the straps are old school bombproof really good, I got one for my rollei
if they made one for my 4x5 I'd get it too

Do you want one?
If not, no.
If yes, maybe.

 

[~andi]

No. Unless the one you have is broken beyond repairability.

One can never have too many straps! We should all consider buying some and changing them out often as fashion accessories. All of mine are basic black... I could use a bit of color in my life!

I know hah!

I once wanted to buy an OP tech for my Fuji 6x9... however I am not often in the mood of dropping 30 bucks when I can buy a propack of film instead.
Somehow I don't get to use straps much if at all. Except TLR where it is quite useful.

Thanks guys Mines black one the outside and a creamy color on the inside. Does it look good? Since I have two

 

[Fixcinater]

Looks good but buy another.

 

[jusxusfanatic]

Yup I agree, should I buy another one for my iii or M2? Since my iii is black I think I should get a full black one

 

[Fixcinater]

I switch straps between bodies depending on what I'm doing with the camera, so I would buy an all black one but I would use it on whatever camera felt right.

 

[jusxusfanatic]

Thanks for the suggestion

should I even change it? I think mine looks alright on both of them

 

[Fixcinater]

To be totally frank, I'm not sure why you are asking if other people think you need a new strap. You have some nice ones already.

If you are sick of them, change it. If not, don't. I don't know why my opinion matters to you.

It's not a fashion show, and even then, my fashion tastes are probably different than yours.

 

[jusxusfanatic]

True, thanks once again. decided to keep them, looks good on both my m2 and iii

To me it seems more strap than camera.
I would consider a small woven nylon strap with rubber pad at the shoulder. They come unused, on their own or with a camera, at camera store rummage boxes.

 

[jusxusfanatic]

Don't really like straps with a pad at the top

 

[LAG]

Should I buy a new strap?

Yes! and a new strap for the new strap

 

[jusxusfanatic]

Decided to keep it anyways, looks good on both

 

[sepiareverb]

So if you've decided to keep it could you please refund my money?

 

[faberryman]

Now I am rethinking my whole strap strategy.

Heh. Selling off straps that don't get shipped allows one to have some steady income off of a very small initial outlay.

 

[Sirius Glass]

Yes, you would not want your cameras to crash to the ground because of a broken strap. I prefer leather as it feels better because it breathes and is less likely to slip than plastic.

I personally like a simple strap for lighter cameras with a battery wallet that holds 2 LR44 batteries just in case.

For heavier cameras I go with the Op/Tech neoprene straps.
