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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
