Haven't used the OPtech but online reviews seem favourable.
I personally use the brown crumpler/ orange icon strap.
Looks-wise: very happy with it. (the flourescent icon really stands out.) If you manage to get the ltd ed camo one, lagi outstanding... :thumbsup:
Functionality: no real complaints, a little chunky when trying to shove everything into my kata3n1-20 (maybe my bag too small... ;p)
Strap is long so I sling it low across my body so I can do "almost' like a "R-strap" draw, comfy over long periods, kinda balances with my kata sling on the other shoulder when I do that. Never hung it over my neck cos makes me sweat... When slung on one shoulder at the side (like a ladies handbag), rubberised texture of the wording underneath the strap does keep it from sliding clean off your shoulder but then again I'm always semi- 'jaga-ing' it when i sling it like that so be warned .
If anything else, the crumpler is definitely more comfortable than the standard canon strap they throw in with the camera.
U pay for what u get. If the stock straps that comes with cameras are as comfortable or better than Crumpler/Optech, then these will have to close shop.
