Camera Strap

[smtan24]

Where and what brand of camera strap should I get? My camera plus my lens is already 1.4kg.

[plainsunset]

wow...that heavy ah? Your camera did not come with a strap?

Mine did..and i am using it.

Optech straps are good and comfortable. See:

Camera shops like CP have them.

LOOK QUITE COMFORTABLE TO HAVE IT? ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT WILL COST?

[TME]

Optech straps for camera bodies are between $26 to $35... the $26 one will do.

East Gear in Peninsular Plaza sells something similar (beoprene, stretchable type) for a little less...

Sports Connection in Peninsular Plaza sell Eagle Creek straps also. These are heavy duty ones with very thick padding. They are very comfortable but not very good where sweat is concerned. About $15 each for the broad ones (good for camera bags) and $8 for the narrower ones.

Spoilt for choice yeah?

buy matin ones, i last time swear by optech until i bought matin ones from perly...

[Caomhin]

I agree that Matin is good.
I have a more expensive Lowepro one that the Matin matches in quality.
IMHO, the cheaper Optech simply falls behind in comfort and looks.

Get in touch with Perly...

Is it really so good? May be I shall consider also. Have been using optech which is not bad. Eastgear one, the quality not that good, will drop some black bits out while using, but it's cheap.

[wedgehammer]

hehe thanks zcf! they got quite a bit of acc, might be able to pick up a few

[smtan24]

Got myself a Optech classic strap. Quite comfortable. Will try it whith my heavy Tokina lens when it gets back from the shop.

[dr34mc4st3r]

[iceberg]

yeah.. if it helps.. i bought my second one.. this time 1 with minolta printed on it...

[smtan24]

Got myself a Eagle Creek strap. It looks pretty comfortable and it's only SGD13.

I got it from Cathay. But why don't you get a Matin Camera Strap from Perly.

Got my Optech for SGD25. I think you can bargin down the price. I think both are about the same. But Matin straps come with your camera name on it and they are curve to fit better around your neck.

i used the optech one for over a year, it's comfortable and i was quite happy with it. then i got the matin one... even nicer! the material and design just feel better...
