gordy's camera straps price increase

[Gordon Coale]

I'm afraid it's time to change prices. Supplies have been increasing in price for the past two years but the recent U.S. Postal Service rate changes are the straw breaking this camel's back. On August 1 all strap prices will go up US$2.

The members of Rangefinder Forum have been a great support for gordy's camera straps and I'm thankful for all those rangefinders sporting gordy straps!

I agree with ManGo. $2, the big deal!
We love your products!
Best,
Marc

Less than the price of a cup of coffee ... I don't own any of your straps but I think it's about time I did! :)

[Morca007]

Hmm, I may have to get one of these once my R comes in!

[Chyn]

Still contemplating on getting one of these straps for my cameras...

[meven]

I have 4 of them and I have never been disappointed.

And what is $2 compare to the price of a camera...

[POSTI-Tuomo]

Raise your prices and people shall flock to you.





(In other words, I placed an order for a neck strap with a pad.) :rolleyes:

[jmilkins]

I use 'em and love 'em - get 'em!:)

[einolu]

still and good deal, mine has been great and now has a wonderful worn in look.

two bucks...i dunno.....:D

I don't use leather straps but you offer a unique, hand crafted item at a very reasonable price. Just look at the price of Leica's factory made synthetic straps! More power to ya'

[kshapero]

I have one, you should get one.

[CosmicCharlie]

Gordy makes the best. I need another, I keeping switching mine between 2 bodies.

2 Bucks though! I say you drop your quality and outsource

Considering the way Leica itself is so given to raising prices, $2 is not even peanuts.

Another happy customer here, the Gordy straps are still a bargain after the price change.

[raid]

I have a few, and I will get more. They are very functional and look great.

I love it!! :D

I have been using mine on smaller rangefinders. I recommend them. Very comfortable.

Naruto -- I have your picture up in my gallery (http://www.electricedge.com/gordy_s_straps/store/gallery/index.htm). Thanks!

That's still a steal! This thread reminded me to order one for my Fed-2 and a string one for the Weston Master. Just sent my order :)

[Keith]

Clever marketing Gordon ... a soon as you put the price up I bought two ... if they're more expensive they must be better.

The perfect strap for a Leica! :angel:

My wriststraps arrived. USPS and TNT Post teamed up nicely this time. Gordy sent them out last Tuesday and they arrived today! They are really very well made straps.

I made these photos on Gordy's request for his website gallery. The string strap stays on the Weston Master, but the Fed-2 is the first one to wear the lug mount.

Huub, you have some really clean cameras there. And the straps look good on them too.

Thanks Remy. They're good looking indeed, but the S2 is dry as a bone and needs a CLA desperately. It squeaks worse than a Canon A-1 when you try to focus.
The IIa needs a little lube for the slow speeds, 0.5 sec hangs. I'm saving up for a visit to Will van Maanen.
