I bought it for SGD13+ after 10% discount about a mth plus agothanks for the feed back, wonder if the apple card will still have 10% discount. Than it will cost $30 which is very tempting considering they have a colour that matches my crumpler bag.

eh! anyone knows what happened to all the 7 million dollar homes in singapore? i've visited the crumpler stores (all 3 of them: paragon, wheelock and raffles), and they all tell me its out of stock and they don't know when, if ever, it'll be shipped again. gah.
and i so intelligently forgot to ask about the industry disgrace while i was at all 3 stores. any word on the latest price for that?

Try visiting John 3:16 or TK Foto. I think they sell Crumpler camera bags slightly cheaper than Crumpler Boutiques here.

I am blur when see the prices, saw someone posted last then 20buck!!! so cheap... some say 22.50 nett after UOB discount(which i believe)...
I was at Crumpler Paragon ytd, for brown and black version, it is going at $25. Camo version is selling at $32.
No discount (ask the salesgirl whether is there any discount on any credit card) and prices are nett...
I can confirm my pricing as I brought camo version Yesterday.

hmm just to check, the industry disgrace is a contoured strap right? so it provides better weight distribution?
It could be I bought the industry disgrace during the GSS, so there was a special price. It was going for $15.50 before discount. Wow, it's double the price now... I bought both the camo and black at the same price, $13.95 after 10% discount

Ya it is the contour 1, whether it give a better weight distribution or not, I not sure, I havnt use it... I just got it for collection.
I am using Lowepro now. wow... u got good deal, anyway now they are selling camo version higher, they say it is limited edition. I am thinking to buy brown and black too.. haha...
Somehow i felt a bit disappointed, store like them shdnt have price like this. (no price diff in camo and normal version but increase prices after stating it is limited edition)
I'm currently using a D300 with the grip. previously i was using the wrist grip as i find the neck strap very obstructive when shooting portrait with the grip. like the strap will dangle n like sorta drape in front of the viewfinder.
is it a get used to it thing? or some of u guys dont even use any straps. i'm thinking of that though it might be a lil risky.
thx

One of the Op/Tech strap neck strap configurations allows you to detatch the main strap so that it forms a much shorter wrist strap. Sort of dual-purpose.

is it user friendly? like realli able to detach easily but yet is strong n firm one. maybe ill go check it out. coz like the wrist grip feels realli weird with the batt grip. so i'm using the neck strap now but dont realli feel comfortable shooting with it. + looks like tourist. :thumbsd:

Well it's pretty easy to use, and the buckle attaches firmly. Here's a quick picture taken of what I mean:
The strap can be adjusted. I've given it enough slack so it sort of wraps once around my wrist.

is the buckle firm? i don't want my camera tumbling into a free fall wihtout a parachute suddenly, cause i have a habit of resting my forearm on my camera while slinging it diagonally across my chest.
