vertekijker Posted February 10, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I got my 'Oscar's one day bag' today - it is great - and I noticed a little strap on the back, the purpose of which I haven't been able to determine. I checked the forum' archives', but found nothing. The strap does not show up on photos on the A&A website. It is too short and awkwardly placed to lift the bag up with. I'm sure that experienced forum members will figure this out in no time! And who is the 'Oscar' that this bag is named after? Thank you. ------------------ Frans Welcome, dear visitor!

Jager Posted February 10, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 10, 2010 It's a hand strap. Works fine. I use mine far more often than I do the shoulder strap. As for the name, perhaps Mr. Barnack? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted February 10, 2010 Share #3 Posted February 10, 2010 As for the name, perhaps Mr. Barnack? Oh c'mon! We all know it's named after the marvellous Mr. Homolka! Welcome, dear visitor!

rickp13 Posted February 10, 2010 Share #4 Posted February 10, 2010 whether intended or not, the strap might be useful to attach your oskar to your trolley (suitcase) handle? cheers rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted February 10, 2010 Share #7 Posted February 10, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Serious point, the other thing you can do with a strap like that is pass your belt through it for added security; I have the same setup on a couple of my Domkes and do just that - it helps keep the bag close to your hip in crowded places.

vertekijker Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted February 10, 2010 Serious point well taken! Just tried it - I made a loop from the strap, connecting the bag to my belt - works very well. Thank you. ------------ Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AgXlove Posted February 10, 2010 Share #9 Posted February 10, 2010 I have the Domke version of the one day bag ( Domke | F-5XB Shoulder/Belt Bag (Black) | 700-52B | B&H Photo ). It is a bit smaller and does not have the internal dividers, but my Zing neoprene lens pouches work well in it. There are several colors available, and they are $200US (+/- depending on color choice) more economical than the A&A bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted February 13, 2010 Share #10 Posted February 13, 2010 Crazy talk, its not a handstrap, its the strap which slides over the pull-out handle on my carry-on luggage . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share #11 Posted February 14, 2010 Another good tip! Thank you. ------------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticman Posted February 14, 2010 Share #12 Posted February 14, 2010 Just in case you use this strap as a way to hang the bag long-term - the small hooks that attach it to the bag can break, if subjected to strain. I've used the bag as a diaper-holder on my daughter's stroller for the last six months or so, and one of these hooks broke last week. Not an enormous amount of weight on the hook, but I suspect the ongoing friction of the movement the bag was subjected to finally tested the hook beyond endurance. You'll be glad to hear that no diapers were harmed in the accident - but I was very glad the bag didn't contain an M8 and a Noctilux when it fell to the ground.

This is one reason I stick with Fogg...very expensive, but this wouldn't happen...all carry straps are fully integrated into the bag assembly for reliable support, except detachable straps, which are held by solid brass clips attached by leather.
