Need Recommendations for Camera Strap

[deklan]

i like my Optech paid 20+ i think awhile ago la...
they have a thick one and a thinner one. i got the thick one.
im not sure abt other brands but Optech makes their strap with Good buckle design, meaning that when u remove the strap(the neoprene portion) the "end" tied to the body can be snapped together to be a hand strap! very convenient, cause i usually dont use straps unless i shoot with 2 bodies...

currently deciding between crumpler and matin.. :/

i thought crumpler at raffles city going for $25? i asked yesterday..

but crumpler abit hard to keep inside my bag.. no space already and the strap is so chunky! but it looks real comfy.. :/

I've got the Op/Tech strap too. Amazing utility that was replacing the original strap that came with my current DSLR, and it was a *huge* difference in neck comfort.

the industry disgrace is going for SGD$33 according to the singapore crumpler website. Another tried it out yet? looks kinda tempting...

Interesting..... I bought it at about $13 after discount some time back at Raffles City store. The price went up?

I think both the Pro and Classic can be bought at CP for $25ea. I would recommend the Classic as the material is more durable and its width is slightly less thick.

just went to CP-M to check out the straps. Thier priced at a range of 46 - 66 dollars. 46 for classic and others ranging till 66. is CP-M more expensive?

matin straps are the ones that have the brands printed on it right? anyway, whats the difference for those straps that are curved and those that are straight? ergonomics? looking to get either optech or matin..

Matin has the brand printed, its rubberised paint and can be peeled off.
Curved ones will provide more comfort when slung around the neck.
Straight ones are just slimmer and thinner looking.
