Strap for R-9

Hel-Stampes · 07/10/08, 11:33 PM

I'm looking for a large strap for the R-9.
No neoprene, no plastic, no Op/Tech, but no Luigi too.
What else ? (as would George Clooney say
in the Nespresso ad)

How about the strap Leica make for the camera- £21.00GBP

I like the Y-strap (I made my own). It has been discussed here, and they have a web site. It works as advertised.

Regards,

I use the Skooba Superbungee shock absorbing strap with my D9/DMR. It is nice and wide especially around the shoulder/neck area and very well shock absorbed for walking over rough ground etc. I bought mine from Teamwork Digital in the UK but they are made in the U.S.

The R9/DMR is heavy after a day's shooting (not as heavy as a Nikon D3 though) but I have really noticed that it feels "lighter" and much more comfortable using this strap.

Thanks, Dhsimmonds.

Quite convincing : I ordered one.
