Vintage Handmade Cotton Leather Camera Neck Strap for Leica Nikon Fuji Pentax Canon Panasonic Sony Long Army Green

I am getting back into photography and had to have this strap when I saw the listing for it. Turned out to be good quality. I like it.

Cotton neck strap where have you been all my life? As a career pro commercial photographer I rarely add anything like cases, neck straps, etc. to my cameras. They invariably get in the way of my ability to move and react quickly. However my personal travel/fun cameras have always been quite the opposite. For those scenarios I don’t always want to be carrying my camera in my hand, and I certainly don’t want to risk leaving it somewhere or worse, having someone grab it out of my hand and run off with it.Neck straps make me feel like a tourist and wrist straps mean I still have to dedicate one hand to always carrying the camera. And I have no need to show off fancy leather straps or ones with bold logos on them that scream rob me. Cutting to the chase, most camera straps the way they are designed are heavy, cumbersome and uncomfortable both to wear and to use and they rarely work well if I try to wrap it around my wrist to act as a handgrip as I often do.This cotton rope strap is near perfection. It is feather lightweight and very supple and can easily be slung over my shoulder without slipping off or around my neck and it wraps easily around my wrist to use it as a secure wrist strap. The extra thickness of it makes it feel comfortable for long day’s sightseeing or at the theme park. And while there is no pretension that it’s anything fancy it does feel well made and secure enough that my camera won’t go crashing to the floor.Note that the length on these isn’t adjustable. It is available in either 29” or 39”. If you usually wear your camera around your neck or across your chest go for the longer version. If like to wrap it around your wrist while shooting then the shorter length may be the way to go. I ordered the shorter version for that reason but they sent the long one by mistake and I didn’t want to go through the bother to send it back.One of the things I like the most is other than the small metal attachment ring there are no buckles, rivets or anything else to scratch my camera, and this is the most flexible strap I’ve ever used. They include two protectors to keep the lug ring from ever touching the camera body. One suggestion though, is that I would have preferred black lug protectors with the black strap instead of tan leather.At under seven bucks this is one of the better camera accessory choices I’ve made recently.

It completes the vintage look that I’m after. However, if you have a heavy camera it will be a bit uncomfortable.

This strap is so nice and just what I was looking for! It’s the perfect length and sits right above my hip for easy access. The quality is nice and love the little leather straps to protect your camera from the rings. Love love love. Would definitely buy again in another color!

This is a perfect camera neck strap. What sets this apart from most others is the fact that it is shorter. Most of the straps allow a camera to hang down to practically your navel, which, for me is very uncomfortable. This one is shorter and allows a camera to sit low on your chest, yet is still comfortable to swing over one arm. I love this strap.

I feel this perfect length for a camera strap. The fit is very comfortable.

The strap looks great and seems to be well made. I can't speak to how it will hold up over time but it's working well for me. Do I love it? No... Do I like it? Kind of... so in the end, the "It's OK" descriptor seems most apt and hence the 3 stars. It does not provide the support when hung about the neck though. The weight of the camera stretches the cotton cord so it becomes thinner than normal which means it bites into my neck a bit more. I'm using this on my Fuji X-E3 with a 35mm f/2 lens, so it's not very heavy but this still happens. If it was a Leica that's much heavier, than this would be even more pronounced. It does look great though but you should be aware of these things coming in.

I am a neck strap fan. I have used numerous neck straps and this is the best. I do not believe it is 100 percent cotton. There is a synthetic in the fabric which is good because it gives it some stretch. I prefer the short version (I want my cameras around my chest and not my abdomen). I ordered the silver and recently the coffee for another camera. They are light and comfortable. I did notice some itching around my neck when I first got the silver. I took a hand towel and cleaned it with some foam hand soap and water-no more itching. My only criticism is that it does not come in red. Price is right (less expensive then similar straps)
