imported_peter_m Posted October 23, 2013 Share #21 Posted October 23, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Kangaroo is a bit thin in my opinion, most hides I used are about 1 to 1.5 mm thick, good for cutting lace for braiding. Tough leather for its thickness. For camera bags I prefer something at least 3mm thick or more. Looks like those bags have excellent craftsmanship and some excellent leather that is hard to find those days. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Hi imported_peter_m, Take a look here Fast and prime. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pgk Posted October 23, 2013 Share #22 Posted October 23, 2013 Of course, there's no accounting for taste, so you might not like the designs, but I can testify to the quality..... I had a look on their site and I'm sure that you are right about the quality and workmanship. Unfortunately the designs simply don't appeal to me. As camera cases they appear to me as being overstated rather than anything else and may well advertise the fact that they are designed to hold something expensive - potentially upping unwanted interest. Whilst I'd like to support small 'local' business turning out quality products, the products do have to appeal to me and unfortunately these do not do so. Hopefully they will do so to others.

imported_peter_m Posted October 24, 2013 Share #26 Posted October 24, 2013 Kangaroo..Double the layers..put thin padding in between.. I think this would be ideal.. That would be possible, just be one expensive bag, Using some nice chap or bag leather works just as well and keeps the price reasonable Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted August 14, 2015 Share #33 Posted August 14, 2015 Ugly? No. Hideously overpriced? Yes. JMHO. The company must have buyers, though - seeing as how they haven't gone under. Go figure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedaes Posted August 18, 2015 Share #36 Posted August 18, 2015 Getting back to topic, a friend of mine did a photo essay on the oak bark tannery they use,and as I live in the same County when I saw the LFI shop were/are selling camera straps by Fast and Prime I sent for one. I can't totally agree with Jono about quality (the shoulder pad cut into the strap is far from symmetrical) and I wouldn't want to let one of the bridle weight strap adjusters with a sharp pin x2 that is part of the strap anywhere near a camera of mine, and would have expected them to use an appropriate adjuster if they seriously want to break into this market. They may improve on the important details with feedback and time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted August 19, 2015 Share #37 Posted August 19, 2015 I'm not in the market for one of these, but I think they look pretty cool, but then again, I never follow the pack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
