Here are a couple of photos I just snapped. Thanks Joe, for turning us on to this strap! Mine is 60cm (his longest standard size). I might go for 56cm next time.

to be fair, someone else discovered this strap and mentioned it in another thread...can't remember who...i just spread the word...aka, big mouth!
i have two more on order and had them custom made a bit longer than the 60 incher.

Have you bought the strap bumpers too or is it not that useful?

did not buy them...there really isn't much to scratch the camera with except the o rings and they don't seem to touch.

Thanks
As soon as I have some extra money I'll get one for myself.
How's the shipping to Canada?

Mine arrived here in Oz today, only 10 days after it was shipped. Excellent workmanship and very comfortable. As Joe mentioned, the best part is the way it slides across the body as you bring the camera up to your eye. I ordered 48" and it is just the right length for me.
Highly recommended.
cheers,
clay

From the pictures, I can't figure out how to secure the strap when adjusted. Maybe they need to elaborate some more and show other cameras with the strap as well.

quicker delivery this time...my 2 new straps were in the mail today...already on the 2 rd1 bodies...love the longer length though i could see most folks not wanting their cameras hanging down around the butt.
i put the shorter (but not short) strap on the nikon d200...very nice on the heavier camera.
this could be it for me...love my kit, love my bags, love my straps...onward to photographic glory!!!
(that would be nice  )

went out shooting today though my heart was not really into it...had a chance to try the 2 rd1 bodies on the longer (66 inch) lance straps. toss the retro 5 in the trunk and wore both bodies bandolero style, one on each side. i felt like a bandito of old!
it was a truly enjoyable experience i must say. the round straps just glide over each other and the length is so perfect for me. i doubt many would want to wear their camera as low as i do or manufactures would be making them longer as standard but i love them long.
2 cameras, 2 lenses and a few extra batteries in my pocket...(we're talking rd1 here) and it's fun to shoot enemcumbered on a hot sunny day.

Just read this thread for the first time, and now have a disturbing visual of Joe tied up with a camera strap. Help!
