Well Made and Comfortable. Only One Flaw.

The strap is thinner than I expected, but it seems well made and the design is pretty solid. I bought the standard and am 6'2" and my camera sits right around my waist line.
I intend to use it in the sort of "lasso" configuration where you attach the one side back to the strap instead of the camera. This works well and makes the camera strap effectively a bit longer which I needed and allows you to lift the camera to your face more easily without needing the strap to slide/rotate. However, event he standard configuration with both ends attached to the camera works much better than I expected. The leather doesn't stick to your clothes so it slides the way I need it to.
ONE ISSSUE I really have with the design is that the metal slider that is on the strap seems to be milled a bit sharp on the interior and immediately started scraping finish off of the leather (picture attached) from the minute I tried the strap out. It remains to be seen if this will cause significant damage long term or if it will sort itself out and only cause a bit of acceptable wear. If they had rounded the edges of the interior of this slider, it would be a perfect design.
I've been wanting a simple strap just like this. One thing I didn't like about my slide was how sloppy it was with the looping from the adjustable strap, I pinned it down so it laid flatter. Definitely not an issue with this strap. Of course that means you need to get your length right when ordering. I had to return the standard length and get the long length. I was hoping the amber would be a brighter color, it really looked more like what I think the tan would be and for a moment thought they sent the wrong color. All that said, I like this strap.
