I used this system hiking with the SL and 28-90. I learned about it from Gordon (FlashGordon). With the attachment point on the waistband of my backpack (and the camera strap loose over my shoulder) I had no extra weight on my neck. Made hiking long distances a breeze. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which PD strap? Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Albertson Posted April 13, 2020 Share #23 Posted April 13, 2020 I was fine with the stock nylon strap that comes with the camera, but when it started fraying where it attaches to the lugs on the SL, I ordered the stock leather strap and it hasn't had the same problem. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slide, Slide Lite and Leash... not including wrist straps. The Slide is almost 2 inches wide (1.8”); not ideal for my tastes, although I’m sure it provides the most support. I was hoping you were using the narrower Lite without issues. Only way for me to know is to try, but curious about others’ experiences.

AZach Posted April 13, 2020 Share #28 Posted April 13, 2020 Cross body, zooms -1 lug + bottom plate. SL 90, M lenses and Sigma 45 -2 lugs. Like PD Leash as it is very quick to adapt and adjust length. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like PD Leash as it is very quick to adapt and adjust length. I’ll give it a try on the SL2. It will be interesting to see how everything orients and balances when using the bottom plate, as the attachment hole was moved to the left side to accommodate the IBIS internal mechanism that must be centered under the lens, where the SL’s socket hole is located. And also to see whether the body rests flat when placing it on a flat surface with the plate attached. It will be a relatively inexpensive test when considering my recently purchased $200+ Harry Benz strap that sits unused. Stock straps have always sufficed for my Ms, so this is a bit of trial and error. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like PD Leash as it is ve ry quick to adapt and adjust length. Just received the Leash and hooked it up as you described, albeit with my SL2. I had my doubts, but actually find this to be a better solution than using an OpTech strap, which I preferred over the stock strap. I like the way it hangs, adjusts length, is easily reconfigured, and is very compact. And, despite the narrow width and lack of shoulder pad, it feels comfortable; although the real test will be using it for an extensive period, especially with the zooms. One side benefit is that this configuration prompted me to hold the camera differently than I was accustomed in vertical orientation, and my sunglasses now work with the EVF eye detect function, which didn't happen before. So, all in all, a good find. Thanks for the input. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
