AncientCityPhoto Posted March 29, 2011 Share #1  Posted March 29, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey everyone! I've spent a couple months using the LeicaGoodies Sling and I have to say I love it!  I did a review of it on my site with some photos to show how it works. The LeicaGoodies site doesn't really communicate it in action.  Sling Review  It is amazing...it actually stays on pretty darn well. Last week was the first time I have shot an event job without a strap. I normally shoot with two cameras on a double strap and use a belt pack for lenses and misc.  This was a smaller event so I thought it would be a good time to experiment. I shot with the Sling and M8 in hand and a lens in my pocket. I didn't have as much need for a second camera at this event either. It was amazingly liberating. The crowd was tighter than usual so not having cameras swinging by my side was great. I was really surprised how much I like this!  Anyone else use the Sling ?

Rusted Chrome Posted March 30, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted March 30, 2011 I got one for my M8 a few weeks ago. I spent a weekend shooting in the streets of New York with it and it was very nice. Easy to hold and no fear that it would drop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cometsoft Posted March 30, 2011 Share #4 Â Posted March 30, 2011 I used one on my M8. It didn't last long (couple of months, maybe). It frayed, so I tossed it. Other than that it was fun while it worked. I'm back to a regular wrist strap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
